Travel Argentina
March 25, 2024 - Buenos Aires, Argentina: A special corner of the Attis restaurant, featuring a statue of the Virgin Mary. This building was constructed in 1890 to house the Santa María de la Salud convent. After the epidemic of yellow fever, the neighborhood of San Telmo was transformed and the convent became a residence of migrants. Tough Statement from the Catholic Church: "Food Cannot Be a Variable of Adjustment". In its first public statement since Milei's inauguration, the Executive Commission of the Argentine Episcopal Conference warned about the seriousness of the social situation, stating that "the daily bread is a cry for separation and justice" as the food crisis worsens. In an indirect response to the Minister of Human Capital, the bishops urged the continuation of assistance and support for community spaces and groups, while audits are carried out. Through a statement signed by Bishop Oscar Ojea, Argentina’s bishops acknowledged: "In our pastoral care for the simple people, who represent the majority of the population, no one should be denied food." They stressed that "in our homeland, no one should go hungry, as it is a land blessed with bread," but warned that "today, hundreds of thousands of families are finding it increasingly difficult to feed themselves properly." This is the first statement from the Catholic hierarchy since President Milei’s inauguration, days before his meeting with Pope Francis, born and lived in Argentina, reflecting the Church’s concern over the social crisis.

Corsican ceremony for Virgin Mary
September 8, 2023 - Casamaccioli, Corsica, France: Brotherhoods pray during the mass for the holiday of the Virgin Mary’s nativity in front of her church. Since at least 1835 the village of Casamaccioli hosts the oldest and most important pilgrimage in Corsica. The story of the Virgin of Niolu dates back to the 5th century. Lost at sea, a Neapolitan naval captain implored the Virgin, who showed him his way with a star that indicated the convent of the selva. To thank her, the sailor buys a statue of the Virgin in Naples and gives it to the Corsicans taking care to place it on a donkey. The villagers on the passage of the donkey fought for the latter’s favors until they made obstacles in order to have for them the statue of the Virgin. The only village that did not mark any desire was Casamaccioli. After a perilous journey through the valleys, the donkey stopped at Casamaccioli on the fairground. Virgin Mary is solemnly worshiped since the Corsican chose her in 1735 to protect them.Since the Evangelization of Corsica by the Franciscan monks in the 11th century, the worship of the saints is a spiritual communion between the people and their faith.
