This is the Church in Dolores Hidalgo where the Revolutionary Priest, Miguel Hidalgo issued his "Grito de Dolores" or "Cry For Independence". The first two shots are of the exterior of the Church and the third is the interior, filled with Mexican people who make a once in a lifetime Pilgrimage to the Birthplace of their Independence.The fourth shot is of a group of schoolchildren being shown the actual bell that awakened the town at 5:00 AM on September 16, 1810 for Hidalgo's proclamation of Independence.
My visit to this area has really moved me. It is now easy to understand the Mexican people's visable pride in their Country and Heritage.
