Visit
the unforgettable Chapel of the Rosary, where Mass is celebrated (with
an opportunity for Adoration to the Blessed Sacrament). Stop for
lunch at an old Spanish house for a delicious buffet and some great
music from the University of Puebla students. We continue onto
Cholula, where what’s reputed to be the largest pyramid in the world
can be admired. You may climb the pyramid/mountain (if you wish). On
top of the pyramid lies the Church of Our Lady of Good Remedy.
Cholula has a very rich history of different epochs of México. This
is where Hernán Cortes accomplished a controversial but very important
victory for the conquest of México. It is also here where the world
famous ‘Cinco de Mayo’ (May 5th) battle occurred, where
Mexicans were able to win a great victory that temporarily detained
the French invasion of Mexico. Cholula also claims to have a Chapel
for every day of the year! Later, visit the Church of Tonantzintla
where the most beautiful example of Indo-Christian decoration can be
admired. Return to Puebla for a group dinner. (B, L, D)
introduction in order to better understand the cultural background that
led to the construction of this impressive complex where the Virgin Mary
appeared to the humble Native American Juan Diego (now St. Juan Diego).
An event that inspired the conversion of millions of Native Americans of
that time. We proceed to visit the New Basilica where the original
‘ayate’ of St. Juan Diego can be found with the sacred image of Our Lady
of Guadalupe. You will have plenty of time to re-visit this most famous
and divine work of art. A video introduction of the Guadalupe story has
been prepared for us at one of the Guadalupe gift shops. Our group
departs the gift shop with a flower arrangement for Our Lady. The flower
arrangement is taken to one of the chapels in the New Basilica and placed
at the foot of the Altar. Holy Mass is celebrated in this chapel. Later,
we will visit the Old Basilica where our Lord is perpetually exposed in
the Blessed Sacrament. After we make our visit to the Blessed Sacrament,
we will visit other places of historic and religious importance in the
Guadalupe complex. We end today’s unforgettable pilgrimage with one more
visit to the image of Our Lady. Remainder of the evening at leisure.
(Tonight Juan shows several restaurant options within 3 blocks from the
hotel). (B, L)
Chapultepec for a fascinating tour of the impressive Museum of
Anthropology, world famous and renowned as the principal source of
information about the archeological and cultural composition of México and
America. As one of the world’s largest of its kind, the museum presents
an impressive permanent collection of artifacts and exhibitions that
demonstrate the daily life of México’s indigenous people. A shopping stop
follows at the Mercado Buena Vista with a great variety of original
Mexican handicrafts. Afterwards return to the hotel for a leisure
evening. (B, L)
spring
water now stand at the site where Our Lady appeared and cured Juan Diego’s
uncle. Upon our return to the Royal Hotel, join your fellow pilgrims for
the farewell dinner, in a spirit of thanksgiving for a fruitful pilgrimage
and our new found friendships. After dinner, travel by motorcoach to the
historic and gorgeous ‘Palacio de Bellas Artes’ (Palace of Fine Arts) to
enjoy an unforgettable show (optional tour for an extra cost, but highly
recommended – see registration for more details). The Ballet Folklórico
de México de Amalia Hernández (Mexico’s Folkloric Ballet). This world
renowned show will help us understand more about the rich Mexican culture
and its people. (B, D)
