Mayhaps someone ([livejournal.com profile] tepintzin??) can explain something I saw last night.

Driving back to Monrovia last night, I was going though LA's "Byzantine-Latino Quarter", and saw something a bit curious.

Group of about 30 people standing on a corner next to a church.

Many where carrying white votive candles. Two were holding a huge framed and matted picture of Our Lady Of Guadalupe. And the rest were throwing what looked like small white rocks at a small area on the street itself, (at the pavement)

Anyone care to hazard a guess as to what I was seeing. I would have thought a processional or memorial service, but the rock throwing wasn't something I quite figured out.

I'm curious, too

Her feast day isn't until next week (Dec. 12), so that's not it.

Sent the link to my mom, she may be able to tell me and I'll pass it on.

The only item on the Roman liturgical calendar for Dec. 6 is the feast of St. Nicholas - and this certainly doesn't sound like that!
