Brian Berger at Chelsea News shared his appreciative take on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe in breezy tabloid style. One opinion we share in common, the paucity of press for something so fervent and beautiful: "Curiously, for such a large and impressive event, the only other press in attendance were from Telemundo and the Religion News Service (RNS) web site—a point worth remembering when this or that politician or commentator broadly opines about “Latino” culture in the city."

I was glad that he described the dancers. It seems that the whip-cracking jaguar that fascinated me at St. Mary's celebration in Yonkers must have been outside St. Patrick's Cathedral. The Cathedral's video of the event begins long before the start of Mass, when the procession was getting into formation and people were entering. I swore I heard the sound of that whip cracking, but I wasn't sure. For some reason it made me happy that the jaguar was present.
