Pilgrims flood Mexico City | Shalom World News
Millions of hearts and footsteps converged on Mexico City’s Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe as pilgrims swarmed in to honor the nation’s beloved patron saint. From every corner of the country, the faithful arrived bearing prayers, tears, gratitude, and hope—many walking for days, some advancing on their knees in acts of profound devotion. By the feast day, more than 13 million pilgrims had reached the Basilica, transforming the sacred hill of Tepeyac into a sea of faith. The shrine stands on the very ground where the Virgin Mary is believed to have appeared in 1531, an encounter that forever changed the spiritual history of Mexico and ignited the nation’s embrace of Catholicism. This extraordinary pilgrimage is more than a gathering—it is a living testimony of faith passed from heart to heart, step by step. At Guadalupe, devotion is not only seen; it is felt, echoing through millions of voices that rise as one in love, trust, and surrender to the Mother who continues to draw her children home.
