One of Latin America’s most important processions brings together faith, tradition, and gastronomy.
Lima, Peru - October 1, 2025 - The devotion to the Lord of Miracles (Señor de los Milagros), one of the most important religious processions in Latin America, will once again bring together millions of faithful in Peru and around the world this October.
From Lima’s historic center to Peruvian communities abroad, the image of the Christ of Pachacamilla will be honored through a series of processions and cultural activities that combine faith, tradition, and gastronomy.
