Mexican clowns make pilgrimage to Guadalupe Basilica

There was lots of funny business going on in the streets of Mexico City on Tuesday as the clowns filled the streets of the capital with bursts of color and sound as they made their annual pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady Guadalupe.

After dancing and singing through the streets, the clowns arrived at the iconic Mexican Basilica for mass. As members of the Clown Club of Mexico, the performers have been making the pilgrimage for over 30 years to ask the Virgin of Guadalupe to continue to watch over their members and their families. The Virgin of Guadalupe is the patron saint of Mexico and is revered by millions of Roman Catholic faithful.
