For we walk by faith, not by sight….
We were all created in his image.

Nora, we believe that God gives to every nation and people the amount of truth they are willing and ready to receive (Alma 29:8). This means that all religions are inspired to a level of truth and light. Most are able to bring people to a level of salvation equal to the Terrestrial Kingdom.

We offer the people higher truths, still. But we do not, nor should we, ignore the fact that there is truth and light in most religions, sent to bless people’s lives.

David Knowlton, when did you serve in Bolivia? I guess it must be in the La Paz mission, as you mentioned the Virgin of Copacabana? I served in the Santa Cruz mission 1978-80. The Virgin of Copacabana is a major saint, however the virgin of Guadalupe in Sucre is equally impressive. She is made of solid gold, with hundreds of precious jewels on her. I’d estimate her value in materials alone at over $50 million. And she’s been around for centuries. On his way to victory, Simon Bolivar stopped and placed his gold watch on her as a prayer for victory in pushing out the Spaniards.

I enjoyed reading this, too. It sounds like a very inspiring event. This sounds like a very lame comment, but seriously, it makes me want to be there.

I love your descriptions and pictures, Amri! They remind me of the Easter week processions I saw in Ecuador when I lived down there. They wore purple robes too, but also wore white hoods (alarmingly kkk looking).

Cristo Moreno is interesting. Thanks for this!

One other thing that makes black Jesus so fantastically awesome? He’s changed fashion. So lots of middle aged women and men for several decades at least have worn plain purple smocks the whole month of October. Women wear them everyday, the men to any procession. Well, some women got tired of that and just wanted to wear purple anything so despite the fact that spring lines are out everywhere, every boutique, clothing shop, fancy or not has purple clothing. Very fashionable purple stuff for Cristo Moreno.

I love it.
