Sahuayo loves statues. This town of 60000 has no less than four. They are a testament to the history and beauty of every town in Mexico. They are daily reminders of the people who brought us to where we are today. I have photos of Don Bosco, Tlahualil (TLAH-wi-LEEL), Benito Juarez, and Miguel Hidalgo, and a couple of priests. It's not important that we know all the names. What is important is that we recognize how significant statues are for Mexicans. I suppose it's their way to rememer the past, and to pay homage.
Tlahualil is found in the plaza, and comes from the descendants of the Aztecs.
This is a statue of a former pastor of the
Parroquia, or the parish of Sahuayo.
A statue of Migueal Hidalgo in the plaza.
The
Santuario de Guadalupe.
A former pastor of the sanctuary.
A statue of Benito Juarez.
The
Sagrado Corazon de Jesu Cristo.
Finally,
Christo Rey. This statue is at the top of the hill (
colina). He watches over the city.
