A Million March in Argentina Pilgrimage
A massive crowd that organizers said topped a million took part Sunday in a pilgrimage to Lujan, one of Argentina's key symbols of its majority Roman Catholic faith.
"Today, we have come to ask for something: for her to teach us to work for justice," Buenos Aires Archbishop Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio said at a mass outside the cathedral in Lujan, home of a celebrated icon of the Virgin Mary.
Thousands of Argentines walk the 60 kilometers (37 miles) between the town of Lujan and the capital every year to highlight their faith in Jesus's mother.
