Mexico City this three days, December 11 to 13, will be 8,000,000 people more populated, so the 22,000,000 people (est) living there will reach the amazing number of 30,000,000... why, well the second most visited catholic church in the world is located there, is the Church for the Virgin of Guadalupe, Queen of Mexico, mother of all mexicans and lately (by John Paul II) Empress of the Americas. As Octavio Paz once said - Mexicans are Guadalupans not catholics - (something like that).

The estimate is that at least 12,000,000 people is going to visit the church, because it is the anniversary of the miracle, her birthday of the brown skinned virgin.

I find it really amazing, the amount of people there waiting for hours just to see her for merely seconds.

This date is like the official start for christmas for mexicans (as myself) we like to call it "GUADALUPE-REYES" which means from the day of the virgin to the day of the holy saint kings.
