This is a photo I took in the Grade School in Orosi, where I live. It is the Divino Nino, in Spanish
or the Christ Child, in English.
Costa Rica is officially a Catholic country, and religious events are considered political
events also.
The nearest large town of Cartago, is also the shrine of Costa Rica's patron saint La Negrita
one of the worlds many black saints. Once a year, people from everywhere, walk to Cartago,
some them pushing baby buggies.
