Virgin of Guadalupe children's procession

Like the Revolution Day, the children of San Miguel celebrate Juan Diego's vision of the Virgin of Guadalupe with their own procession. We just happened to stumble on the gathering at the start of the procession just down the street from our house. Here are a few of my favorite shots.









As the night grew darker, the procession began with the live "float" of Juan Diego seeing the vision of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Then the parents, with their children in tow or in their arms, marched down to the central square. The official holiday is December 12.
