La Virgin Dolorosa



Saturday 19 April 2008

You just never know when you're going to run into a religous procession down here! Here is one for the Virgin Dolorosa, or "pained virgen," who appeared in the government buildings here in Quito over 500 years ago. It was a neat procession, everyone was singing, all the school kids were walking in their uniforms, and crazy pop music would interupt the mournful songs at regular intervals.
