Season of Madonna’s

Filed under: Around Mexico,Mexico Moment,Mexico-Travel,Xico

The other night The Callahan’s and The Calypso’s scooted around Xico after ten – most senior citizens were tucked warmly in their beds by then but not our intrepid biker angels.

My mission was to get some photos for you to see what goes on in our little town after dark during the long winter’s celebration.

So here we go (All photos will get LARGE by double clicking on them):

Capilla

There are more cathedrals and capillas in Xico than tortillarias; or anything else for that matter. The Capilla Cristo Rey is at the far west end of Calle Vicente Guerrero. The Ten Commandments are etched into the stairway risers and it is currently adorned with a flower arco.

Everywhere we looked there were Madonna’s.


Looking in a doorway there knelt Juan Diego before the Madonna.

Tacos La Rana - Calle Victoria

Even Tacos La Rana had a Madonna


The Band in B/W

And of course the band played while the Madonna looked on

Two Madonna's in the House

Christ overlooks the two loveliest Madonna’s – One His and One Mine

Stay Tuned!

Lovely photos. Wow, what colors in the last one. Spectacular.

Ah, “la Guadalupana” image, on the wall of the taco stand. That’s one of the things that I love so about Mexico; it’s fervor and reverence for all things related to La Virgen de Guadalupe.
