The 93rd edition of Los Angeles’ oldest religious procession will be held Sunday in East Los Angeles, commemorating the 493rd anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady of Guadalupe to the Mexican peasant Juan Diego.
The Procession and Mass honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe and St. Juan Diego will begin at 10:30 a.m. at Our Lady of Solitude Parish then go through the streets of East Los Angeles. Its theme is “Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mother of the Eucharist.”
The procession’s lineup includes Guadalupano parish groups, 37 groups of Aztec dancers and 35 “andas,” decorated carts used by students from Catholic schools and representatives of other ministries in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to carry images of the Virgin of Guadalupe during the procession, according to organizers.
