This is a section of a mural devoted to the Virgin of Guadalupe in the Fruitvale district. Her feast day in Mexico is December 12. You'll find her image in murals, churches, tattoos, bumper stickers, tee shirts, and more. She is ubiquitous and beloved in Latino communities. Last year I posted a mosaic mural in honor of her day.

I like this one a lot - more than the previous one even, which I also really liked.
ReplyDeleteRadiating outwards- religious but somehow modern- I like the photo too for the fact that it included a person in it who looks local.
ReplyDeleteA religious mural is rare find in my part of Canada.
ReplyDeleteThe pinks are pretty, I also like that you caught a random dude!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to last year's mural; I like both of them, esp because they represent such different styles!
ReplyDeleteMurals always impresses me - so permanent, so (literally) immovable.
ReplyDelete"Ubiquitous" is a good word for that image. I keep forgetting to post something here. Soon! It's a great place to check in on the urban scene
ReplyDeleteMy FB news feed has been inundated with her image the whole day. Catholicism came to the Philippines via Mexico.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely mural of her.
It's very odd because we have a small Hispanic community, but some of the taxis here have advertising signs on top with the image and the words "Out Lady Of Guadalupe, Empress Of All The Americas." No idea what this is meant to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteVery nice mural !
