New Tijuana cathedral honors Our Lady of Guadalupe

“A few days before December 12, Tijuana’s “old” Cathedral, in the heart of Downtown, begins the celebration that will commemorate one of the most important events for Mexican Catholicism: The apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe to San Juan Diego on December 12, 1531.

The Cathedral’s altar is beautifully decorated with images of La Guadalupana and of San Juan Diego. An artificial waterfall recreates Mount Tepeyac, place where the event took place more than half a century ago. Red roses are present throughout the Cathedral. People sing to la Virgen de Guadalupe:”
