Mexico's Faithful Make Annual Pilgrimage On Dia de la Virgen

Wooden crosses bearing the bloodied effigy of Jesus and huge framed pictures of the la Virgen de Guadalupe are walking alongside me down Mexico City's Calzada de Guadalupe. Boys with gelled hair labor with crosses strapped to their back and middle-aged women lumber along the tree-lined avenue with enormous pictures roped to their shoulders in an image that brings to mind the depictions of the crucifixion itself.
