Mexico, Oaxaca, Teotitlan del Valle, April 21-22, 2011. True faith suffuses every aspect of Teotitlan del Valle's painstaking recreation of the last hours of Jesus, from Thursday's afternoon's Last Supper through to a night vigil at a jail cell after his arrest. Village elders play the parts of the twelve apostles, and the town's devout fill the church for mass and communion, for the ritual washing of the disciple's feet, and for multiple gatherings which mark the hours. Good Friday dawns with music, scripture, and a solemn procession of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the town's own radiant“Virgen Dolorosa” through the streets.

Russia, the world’s largest nation, borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches. It’s famous for Moscow's Bolshoi and St. Petersburg's Mariinsky ballet companies. St. Petersburg, founded by Russian leader Peter the Great, has the baroque Winter Palace, now housing part of the State Hermitage Museum’s art collection.

Pope John Paul II visited Izamal in August 1993, where he performed a mass and presented the statue of the Virgin with a silver crown.
Statue of the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception ("Our Lady of Izamal") is particularly venerated, and is the city's patron saint.
Photographed while on holiday in Mexico, summer of 2005. Looking for a likely city for eventual retirement. (We eventually chose the city of Queretaro, slightly less primitive than what we had been seeing.)
Taken on a trip to Amantenango, Chiflon falls, cania country (sugar cane), and lakes near the border of Guatemala. Chiapas, Mexico

The Shrine of Mary Help ¨ ¨ erected as a parish by Bishop Dario Miranda, in 1969, looks splendid and a sense of praise, the supernatural and the divine, with its pointed arches, rose windows, minarets and ribs, stained glass, combined with the mole vast central nave produced the characteristic movement of the Gothic style of S. XIX. Mary Help ¨ ¨, initial work of the Salesians in Mexico, is no stranger to the historical moment of the revolution that gripped the country and let people feel the brunt of instability, persecution, invasion, expropriation of property, expulsion and deportation of priests foreign Salesians and their construction made a slow but sure. Today the neo-Gothic parish as a national monument of artistic style, facing the ravages of climate, weather and adversity, causing the breakdown of some moldings of the facade and towers pose a risk to the community so that for remodeling work done with permits.

El Santuario de ¨Maria Auxiliadora¨ erigido como parroquia por Monseñor Dario Miranda, en 1969, luce esplendorosa y con un sentido de alabanza, de lo sobrenatural y lo divino, con sus ojivas, rosetones, minaretes y nervaduras, vitrales; aunados a la mole inmensa de la nave central producen el movimiento característico del estilo neogótico del S. XIX. ¨María Auxiliadora¨, obra inicial de los Salesianos en México, no es ajena al momento histórico de la revolución que convulsionó al país y en quienes dejó sentir los embates de la inestabilidad, persecución, allanamiento, expropiación de bienes, expulsión y deportación de sacerdotes Salesianos extranjeros y que hicieron de su construcción una tarea lenta pero segura. Hoy la parroquia de estilo neogótico considerada monumento nacional de estilo artístico, hace frente a los embates del clima, el tiempo y las adversidades, provocando el resquebrajamiento de algunas molduras de su fachada y torres, representan un riesgo, para la comunidad por lo que se realizan trabajos correspondientes de remodelación, con los permisos correspondientes.
