Happy Virgin Day!

Yep, today is the day that Juan Diego found the miraculous roses to present to the bishop as proof that the dark-skinned Virgin wanted a church built in her honor atop an old Aztec sacred site. There are processions and special masses and adorable little kids dressed as Juan Diego complete with a little penciled-on moustache. Being neither Catholic nor religious I'm merely discontented that I work in state where we don't get the day off. Virgins just don't get much respect in Oaxaca, I guess.
