United States, Illinois, Chicago, September 25, 2009.
Since 1623, the revered figure of "Nuestra Senora de los Lagos," or "Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos" in Jalisco, Mexico has provided comfort and miracles for those who believe. Sometimes known as "The Traveling Virgin," for seven days she graced the Church of the Good Sheperd in Little Village, and hundreds of Catholics came from miles around to pay their respects. Yellow police tape outside politely marked where tonight's lines on this seventh day would form. For Father Benjamin Arevalos, saying the early mass and new to this parish, it was a chance to hold a legend aloft.
