The "peregrinos," or pilgrims, have started arriving. Last night, Nicaraguans from all over the remote countryside began setting up camp outside of the town limits. Today, they will enter the city in a procession of ox-drawn carts, carrying their homes in there for weeks. Some travel several days to get here.
The mayor's office arranged for the local mariachi band to play through the night for and with them.
I caught them as they waited for their ride, outside the famous Cristo Negro church.
