What really hit us was seeing the huge crowd of people following this image of clay, crying and reaching out trying to touch it. It was heartbreaking to see what they are putting their faith in.

Saint's Day
A little while ago we had the opportunity to observe some of the activities associated with Saint's Day here in Yuty. One of the things they do is to have a Mass early in the morning at the Catholic church and afterward they bring out the statue of their saint and parade it through the town. We heard conflicting information concerning who the statue is depicting. We heard both the Virgin of Caacupe and the Virgin of Natividad.
What really hit us was seeing the huge crowd of people following this image of clay, crying and reaching out trying to touch it. It was heartbreaking to see what they are putting their faith in.
