This, and the fact that it was also the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe, made it a huge day for Mexican Catholicism. A lot of emotions were in the air - to me, it was mostly sad watching so many people putting so much faith in superstition. Photographically, it was a great day, though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;-&lt;/div&gt;El 12 de diciembre trajeron a Querétaro una figura de cera con las reliquias del Papa Juan Pablo II. Esto, sumándole el hecho de que era el día de la Virgen de Guadalupe, significó un día importantísimo para el catolicismo mexicano. Muchas emociones se sentían en el ambiente - para mí, fue algo triste ver a tanta gente depositar tanta fe en supersticiones.
