Summary
But he was satisfied to be at home in his village of San Gregorio Azompa, about 75 miles (120 kilometers) east of Mexico City.Castillo had managed to visit the basilica just before it closed Wednesday; authorities had encouraged people to come before the closure, to leave flowers or other offerings.Castillo walked three days, carrying a huge portrait of the Virgin on his back; alongside walked his 11-year-old son.“It had been years since I made it to the pews” in the vast building, he noted, “because there were always too many people.”“But this time they gave us permission,” he said.
