So
apparently October is the month in which they celebrate the God of Miracles in
Peru. Peru is a very catholic country and they are always having parades,
processions, and catholic masses to honor some kind of saint or god of
something. For “El Señor de los Milagros” there was a procession in my town in
which everyone dressed up in purple and paraded around with a big shrine of
Jesus and Mary. Purple is suppose to be the color that helps bring miracles. People who wanted God to bring them miracles created purple
alters outside of their homes and businesses and during the procession, they would
stop at each shrine to sing, pray and give blessings to bring miracles to the
home or business. Here are some cute photos of the procession:
