Dozens of clowns walked in a procession towards Mexico City's Basilica de Guadalupe on Wednesday to thank Mexico's patron saint-- the Virgin of Guadalupe--for her blessings and to pray for her continuing protection over the coming year.

Clowns from across Latin America sang, chanted, drummed and juggled their way towards the Basilica, where they took a group photo. They marched along the famous avenue, the Calzada de Guadalupe, into the crowded plaza outside the church.

Millions of people from Mexico and Latin America visit the Basilica of Saint Mary of Guadalupe every year. The pilgrimage is a yearly tradition that brings clowns of all ages to Mexico for a colorful mass.
