01/16/2006: "El Cristo Negro de Esquipulas"

Spent a really nice day learning about my wifes culture or at least a piece of it when we went to visit El Cristo Negro de Esquipulas. The black christ is an amazing site as it lloks to be made of stone but is really just of a dark wood. It is almost of as much significance to central americans as the virgin de guadalupe is to mexicans. The mass was different because they had a full central american band at santa cecilia parish and it was a very festive environment.
