Marian devotion
Guadalupe and the War of the Christs
Guerrero, Mexico
The indigenous people of the Sierra Guerrero venerate the Virgin of Guadalupe as their protector.
In the Sierra de Guerrero, the indigenous communities maintain a special devotion to the Virgin of Guadalupe. They carry her in procession along the mountain paths.
Tradition holds that the Virgin protects indigenous communities from violence and poverty. Elders pray to her for a better future for their grandchildren.
