Fiestas Guadalupanas 2010

The photos in this gallery are from the final day of the "Fiestas Guadalupanas" on December 12, 2010, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Las Peregrinaciones are the pilgrimages to Mexico's patron saint - the Virgin of Guadalupe. The pilgrimages occur during the first twelve days of December each year in Puerto Vallarta. Lois and I have been privileged to observe this event many times and it is always a very moving experience. I have tried to capture the spirit and the essence of this event through the faces of the participants in the MAGNA PERIGRINACION DE LOS FAVORECIDOS (the favored ones) on display here. I hope you enjoy these photos and get a feel for the very wonderful people who participate.
