Description:
|
Rooted in a 16th-century Mexican legend, peasant Juan Diego's vision of a dark-skinned, Indian Madonna went on to become the country's indigenous icon. Her feast day is celebrated with processions in which pictures and statues of the Madonna are carried through the streets, participants bring roses to shrines in churches, and children dress as Juan Diego. Music, rides, stalls selling food and souvenirs, and crowds pack the streets. |
