In the Zacatecas mines, the miners carry an image of Guadalupe in their barriers. Before he goes down to the minion, they pray to him.
La tradición cuenta que la Virgen de Guadalupe protege a los mineros de los derrumbes. Los mineros le dicen: «Madre, cuídanos en la oscuridad.»
Every December 12, the miners organize an underground procession, with candles and songs.
Guadalupe protects those who work in the darkness of the mine.
