Every year around 20,000 women from the state of Queretaro Mexico walk to the Basilica of Virgin Maria of Guadalupe in Mexico city. Depending on the community where they live, the journey can be more than 300 miles in two weeks. Ages range from just months carried by their mothers to more than eighty year olds. Most of these women make the pilgrimage to thank the Virgin of Guadalupe for what they have. Many of them have very little or live in extreme poverty. I walked the journey with them and experienced their exhaustion, pain, joy, and faith.
