Oh, this is a very beautiful Church, a historic landmark and a good place to pray. Went there for Sunday Mass, and the atmosphere was very inclusive. A good cantor and great music. The building is graceful, outside and inside, not overloaded with imagery. I'm glad I have been here.
The priest there was very understanding and blessed our items, not a generic blessing. He pulled out a bible or prayer book and BLESSED our items and us.
This is how they celebrate the EQUIVALENT of Halloween, however, it has deeper meaning.
The event is called Celebration Remembrance of Day of The Dead. Mostly family members whom they still hold near and dear to their heart.
Ironically, they do NOT give out candy like in the USA. What they do is make the effigies of their loved ones is made out of candy, bees wax, honey, sugar cane; and they leave their (family's) being remembered Favorite foods which could be anything from fruits and vegetables to sweet breads, and drinks.
It does have a cultural significance!
It's gorgeous I remember going there when I was a child and my grandparents had a house in tj the weekends it was packed with people selling tons of things. I'm so glad it's still there and still so gorgeous. Always a must to visit when we are there
It is a nice place to pray. Beautiful old church. Has vendors of catholic items out side and a few beggars. No one is pushy. Everyone is nice. When we would see a beggar sitting outside the church I would give a coin to my 8 year old daughter, she would give it to them and they would give her a smile and a gracious. We got inside the church in time for Benediction. It was a beautiful service.
