Wooden crosses bearing the bloodied effigy of Jesus and huge framed pictures of the la Virgen de Guadalupe are quite literally walking down Mexico Citys Calzada de Guadalupe. Boys with gelled hair labor with crosses strapped to their backs and middle-aged women lumber along the tree-lined avenue with enormous pictures roped to their shoulders in an image that brings to mind filmed depictions of the crucifixion itself.
The religious icons are being bourn by Mexicos millions of faithful, who for the last few days have been making the annual pilgrimage, many from miles away, to the citys two Basilicas de Guadalupe.
