Faith, family, public works keep Mexican migrants' ties strong - Catholic Online
Faith, family, public works keep Mexican migrants' ties strong - Catholic Online: "The mid-August festival provides an opportunity for former Mezcala residents living in the United States to see how their remittances are being used and to once again immerse themselves in the village's life and customs, including its devotion to Mary. Each of Mezcala's nine barrios throws a party and takes turns decorating the parish with flowers and candles for the nightly Mass. For two nights after the festival ends, the 'hijos ausentes' provide food, music and fireworks."
