On the eve of December 12th, the day dedicated to the Virgin of Guadalupe, torchists devoted to the Virgin, from remote regions of the state of Chiapas, travel with a flame to the temples dedicated to the Virgin. They organize themselves in groups to travel for a day, or several days, the roads that lead them to the altars where they will confirm their faith with flowers, prayers and songs.
