luvsdawgs Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I am curious, does anyone know who pays for the rockets used for Guadalupe? Someone told me the unions do, but I thought that was only for the San Andres festival. Just wondering about it as I also heard the unions are buying louder ones this year as they are having some sort of dispute with the church? Thanks for the info, as I said, just curious.

bmh Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 It is a religious holiday and the faithful pay for them. When you lve in an area that has a lot of evangelists you can hear the bitching about all the money wasted on the Saints, on the cohetes, the flowers etc..etc..The Catholics pay for them.. It is also a subjct of conflict because the Evangelists in indigenous villages refuse to pay . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addtocart Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 "Evangelists in indigenous villages refuse to pay ." Kudos to those people. Maybe if enough people struggle into the 20th (yes, I said 20th) century this "charming custom" will go away. Along with burning witches, magical potions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 While the religious festivals have degenerated into drunken brawls. The presenter committees have gotten into a macho fest of whose is bigger and more .... Religion and faith has little to do with it among these people. It is all about making money and paybacks from outsider vendors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
