CWN Editor's Note: More than 2.7 million people took part in the Marian procession of the Divine Shepherdess in Barquisimeto, a city of 1.2 million in northern Venezuela.
“This procession has been held 166 times, and every [time] the number of people accompanying the Divine Shepherdess increases, thus becoming one of the largest manifestations [of Marian devotion] in the world,” said Archbishop Mariano Parra, the recently retired archbishop of Coro.
