Interesting.....

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.
