Isla Mujeres estará de fiesta ] Ver masFull article at this link
The organizing committee of the celebration of the patron saint of Isla Mujeres, Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, announced the festive program to begin this November 28 and conclude on December 8, during a press conference at the Church of the same name. More than 20 groups will participate including fishing and tourism services cooperatives, youth and women's groups, police and business groups, and others.
In addition, a group of riders said they expect to participate in a parade from the Convention Center to the colonias then to the ring ("ruedo" which is presumably the bull ring which is usually set up at the north end of the airfield), where there will be a gathering, on the afternoon of Dec. 12. (Dia de Guadalupe, the Patron Saint of Mexico). About 100 riders are expected to participate.
On Nov. 28th, the Virgin icon will be taken down from her niche in the afternoon, and there will be a procession, which will open the festival and be led by the Bishop of the Prelature Cancún-Chetumal, Monsignor Pedro Pablo Elizondo Cárdenas. He will also participate in the inauguration of the photographic exhibition in the wing of the church, which includes 80 images showing the Catholic tradition of the festivals honoring the Virgin in the past decades.
It is recalled that in May, the Immaculate Conception parish unveiled a fresco in the interior of the Church showing the arrival of Catholicism 500 years ago to this corner of the country.
The organizers of the Patron Saint festivities spoke about progress, plans, security, cultural, and recreational activities, noting that this is also an effort to promote faith in God to achieve harmony in a society that faces spiritual problems which divide families, and therefore the community.
