Package Details
Overview
Spend 8 days in Mexico City “in the land of the Cristeros”. Visit sites from the life of Blessed Miguel Pro and the Mexican martyrs, thousands of whom died defending their faith from the Marxist Mexican government during the 1926 – 1929 Cristero War, or “La Cristiada”. Walk the path where they lived and prayed as well as the sacristies where Priests hid. Blessed Miguel Pro was one of these Priests who continued to minister in the face of great persecution and ultimately died for his faith. His final words, “Viva Cristo Rey!”, which mean “Long live Christ the King!”, became a battle cry and made him as a symbolic face for The Cristeros in their fight to restore Catholicism in Mexico. Also visit the Shrine to Our Lady where She appeared to St. Juan Diego 1531. This Shrine is noted as the holiest place in the Western Hemisphere. The Cristeros lost their lives and found true life in faith. Visit Mexico and experience it’s rich Catholic History!
