Celebrating the Birthday of the Virgin Mary

On September 8, we celebrate the Birth of the Mother of God. For our sister parish, Our Lady of Regla, this is the parish Feast Day. On the Eve of the Feast, they celebrate the Liturgy and have a grand procession through the streets of Little Havana carrying an image of the Theotokos along with a band and flag bearers representing many nations. Here are some pictures:

The Church of Our Lady of Regla - Notice the large cross over the window. This used to be on St George Cathedral and was a gift to our sister parish.
