La Torcha Guadalupana
Marlet Villafana, 20, of Cleveland, left, passes "La Torcha Guadalupana" to Marta Estrella, 38, of Liberty, Sunday afternoon along U.S. Highway 9O East of China. The two are part of the fourth annual La Carrera Antorcha Guadalupana Mexico-New York. The torch is passed from runner to runner from Mexico to New York and is closely followed by large prints of the Virgen de Guadalupe and Saint Juan Diego in the backs of pick-up trucks or carried by hand as the torch approaches a host church.
