MEXICO TRADITION

Indigenous community in Mexico marks feast of St. Mary Magdalene

Aldama, Jul 19 (EFE).- Hundreds of Tzotzil people poured out of the mountains surrounding this town in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas on Tuesday for the annual festival of the municipality's patron saint, Mary Magdalene.

Not even an ongoing conflict over land with neighboring Chenalho that features daily rounds of gunfire deterred residents of Aldama, whose official name is Santa Maria Magdalena, from observing the holiday. (Camera: MITZI FUENTES GÓMEZ).
