What happened in a little church in Juárez on Wednesday has many pondering the mystery of faith and the power of Mexico's patron saint, the Virgen de Guadalupe.continue at El Paso Times
To some, it was a sign for a city devastated by four years of violence -- a sign of hope the city needs desperately.
While a fire ravaged the modest San Agustín Chapel in Juárez early Wednesday -- destroying with it pews, church items and even a picture of Jesus Christ -- the image of the Virgen survived.
"It was something unusual," said parish priest the Rev. Benjamín Gaytán. "For us, it was like a sign of faith, a comfort for these difficult times that we are enduring right now in Juárez."
You may know that Juárez suffers a great deal from drug militias and government corruption.
