Runners carrying the flame from the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico City will be passing through Durham today, on route to New York City. It's a religious pilgrimage designed to put focus on immigrants' rights with the motto: "Messengers for the dignity of one people divided by a border." The run got underway in October, and will end in New York on the Virgin of Guadalupe's feast day, December 12.
Runners will be arriving from High Point to the
Immaculate Conception Church on Chapel Hill St in Durham today,
Saturday (11/29). One of the organizers at Immaculate Conception told me they will be welcoming the torch at
7 pm. The public is welcome.
Some video about the run and a full schedule of the route is available
here, at the Tepeyac Association of New York's website.
