Every year on the 12th people from all over Mexico visit the basilica to celebrate La Virgen Maria. They walk or get there on their knees to pay a "manda" to the Virgen Mary. Many of these people come from pueblos and very humble places, many don't even have food to eat but they are full of faith. Every year my momma used to contribute w/ the fam by sending money to Mexico so my fam in Mexico City could make tortas and atole for the peregrinos. This year they finally had the opportunity to be there and give back personally!! And thank God and the Virgen for so many blessings! It really is the little things! #thethingsfaithcando #godisgood #vivalavirgen #lavirgenmorenita #theblessedmother #sohappy #daysmyheartishappy #littlethingsinlife
