Actually, Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint of all the Americas.

Two people died today which was announced to the community by the type of tolling the church bells did followed by cohetes representing celebration of their lives. Births, deaths, marriages, funerals, etc. Are all announced in Ajijic the same way they were hundreds of years ago, by the type of tolling of the church bells.

Hmmm. I thought this was a 12 day (docena) festival, not a 9 day (novena), the only docena of the year because it's the most important. Here in SJC it started 1 Dec and the feast day is 12 Dec.

The procession is on the 12th in the afternoon, it starts at the CHurch of the virgin de las Guadalupe near 6 corner goes east on Ocampo to around the other church, I do not remember exactly and goes back on Zaragosa back down on Franciso Villa and back to the church of the Gudalupe for mass. I fprget the time but you will hear it because of the music and cohetes..
