But I'm a water sign!<BR/><BR/>As for Mexican churches, we went to the most amazing church in my life: Santa Maria Tonantzintla. See: http://www.calzadaphotos.com/StaMariaTonantzintla/IndexStaMariaTonantzintla.htm<BR/><BR/>Not only was the interior architecture breathtaking, but it was a magical place. As soon as you entered the churchyard (filled with citrus trees in flower and fruit), you entered a world of calm tranquility. But it was also alive! There were kids everywhere playing, talking. Better yet, there was a children's service taking place. Over 100 children were lined up (boys in one line, girls in the other) singing and carrying flowers to the Virgin. Amazing! We learned later that they each get a piece of candy after the service, so that's why they do it.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12754880780791544528noreply@blogger.com
