Like every year, the parishioners come to thank a favor or make a request. Such is the case of Jessica, who walked for several hours with crutches to ask the Virgin to improve her health. 

I already have 5 hours walking with crutches, from Tlatelolco, this is a lot because I was run over 5 months ago and my leg was broken. I come to ask for my health. Recovery has been a bit slow, ” she said.
