Religion on Parade

The procession that you see to the right that is blocking the rush-hour traffic in Monterrey is that of "peregrinos" or pilgrims. This would be a religious procession that will take all or some of the people you see here on to one of the many catholic basilicas in Mexico. Some of the people on these pilgrimages will travel across the country to Mexico City to the Basilica of the Virgin Guadalupe. If you look closely you'll see that many of the people are dressed in native costumes.
