Celebrating the Virgin of Guadalupe
A balloon decorated shrine to the Virgin of Guadalupe stands in front of a body shop in Mexico City, Friday Dec. 12, 2014. Every year thousands upon thousands of faithful flock to the Basilica of Guadalupe to pay their respects but just as importantly, little shrines built in parking lots, places of work, street medians, playgrounds and any imaginable corner of a world of concrete and asphalt are colorfully decorated with flowers, balloons and confetti on the Virgin's feast day as neighbors gather around the altars to share a small breakfast, sing happy birthday to the Virgin, light fire-crackers and some just come to have a quiet prayer.
