; devotion and unbridled hilarity on the 60,000 INDIANS FINISH HOMAGE NEAR GUADALUPE Week, of Homage to Patron Saint Marks 388th Anniversary of Traditional Divine Manifes- | tation in Mexico GUADALUPE, Mexico, (By Malil.}— Fifty thousand Indians from ail parts of Mexico have just completed their Week of homage to their patron saint the Virgin of Guadalupe and their pil- rrimage to the shrine of the Virgin here, as sacred a journey as ever was Tade by Mohammedans to Mecca or Tiindua to the river Ganges. This ceremony marks the 388th anni Yersary of the traditional divine ‘mani- Testation which resulted in the conver- sion to Christianity of virtually all In- Gians in Mexico and led to the erection herd of 2 magnificent cathedral, several chapels and the stirine. It has been a ‘week of prayer, ghurch-going and fiesta for the Indians. The incident from which the ceremo- ny had its origin transpired, according to tradition, in 1531 when an Indian fs said to have met on the present cite of Guadalupe village the apparition of the Blessed Virgin who imprinted her image upon the cloth jerkin the Indian was wearing, This miracle so impressed the Indians that a shrine was erected here and later the cathedral and chapels. Thru the succeeding centuries this has been the Mecca to which nearly all In- dians of Mexico turn for one week dur-| {ing the year. The jerkin bearing the {mprint is} stil preserved in the shrine, encased in silver, gold and gems. “Guadalupe Day,” as the celebration is called, is a strange combination of part of the Indians.
