Taxco's Shrines

While we were visiting the Guadalupe church, we noticed just across the street a stone worker was carving religious works of art -- a statue of the Virgin of Guadalupe and one other piece. Both were behind bars.
This shrine is in the center of Taxco just below what was called La Casa de las Lagrimas (House of Tears) before it was purchased by an American woman and her new Taxqueñan husband. It is as lovely as is the rest of this beautiful home.	This is the small shrine at the bottom of Taxco's market. You'll find it just by the folks that sell dried healing and spirit herbs, fresh local cheeses, fresh herbs, dried chilis and beans and fresh chicken.
One of the best ways to enter Taxco's market is to get yourself to Parque Guerrero and walk in on the declining stone pathway. Along this walk you will find people from villages surrounding Taxco selling their wares. Everything is fresh and wonderful. Also note that almost everything that is sold in the market comes through this same pathway so it is a busy route indeed!
This is one of the very traditional and also very common types of shrines found in and around Taxco. It is beautifully maintained, freshly painted and often cleaned. The potted plants are watered regularly and fresh flowers are always in view.
