Let's backtrack to last week when I went downtown to the Christmas festival on the Zócalo. After walking around the plaza taking pictures, and shopping at the handicrafts market, I decided to take a look inside the Cathedral to see if there were any decorations for Christmas.
Upon entering the Cathedral, the ornate Chapel of Forgiveness included a Nativity scene.
At the far end of the Cathedral, the incredibly baroque Chapel of the Kings is worth a photograph any time of year.
The main altar was flanked by Christmas trees and had another Nativity scene.
One of the pulpits and a venerated crucifix known as the Black Christ were surrounded by poinsettias.
My dear friend Carol, who passed away in September, was a devout Catholic. I lit a candle in her memory.
