Soledad

Yesterday was the feast day of one of Oaxaca most revered holy figures,  La Santísima Virgen de La Soledad (The Virgin of Solitude) and the cathedral named in her honor was the place to be.  I've been recovering from a cold that has knocked me out for a while so I  figured I could sure use her blessing.  I need all the help I can get.  I confess to be slightly more spaced out than normal.

This was the outside version.  The figure inside the cathedral was so far in the distance, she was invisible, but one could feel her presence in the respectful reverence of the huge crowds.

Roses are all a part of the ceremony and they were there in abundance.

Be sure to check out Shannon's post over at Casa Colibri.  Hers is much more informative and thorough.... Hey, I've been ill.  I blame....
