Each year on Palm Sunday, Mexican bird sellers known as pajareros travel from all corners of the country to Mexico City for a remarkable religious tradition. These vendors construct towering cage displays reaching 10 feet high, decorating them with vibrant flowers, shimmering tinsel, and sacred images of the Virgin of Guadalupe, who serves as Mexico’s patron saint.
The pajareros undertake lengthy walks through Mexico City’s streets alongside their families, carrying their feathered companions and ornate cage towers to reach the famous basilica. This annual journey represents both a business venture and a spiritual pilgrimage for these dedicated vendors who honor their faith through this colorful procession.
