December in Mexico

[GerardoG]

Mexico is unique. A country of traditions, of families, flavors and colors. A unique place indeed.

Mexico is +97% catholic but, as it has been said many times, it is even more Mariano. This means that Virgin Mary plays a very important place in our religious beliefs (I am not trying to make this post religious, as I am a firm believer in mutual respect no matter what religion or beliefs we all have, just trying to share a background).

Because of this, the Basilica of Guadalupe receives over 20 million visitors per year, and about 45% of those happen from Dec 1 to Dec 12 -date when we celebrate her-

Our Basilica is smaller than Mexico City’s; so visitors are just around 5 million. Yes, December is HER month, and with it comes a beautiful tradition.

Let me take my TRF family with me....
