♪Era una hermosa mañana, 
  Cuando la Guadalupana,
  Bajó a Tepeyac...♫

Las Mañanitas started this freezing dark Southwest Texas  morning at 6:00 a.m.  sharp with at least 50 people.

Inside Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic Church
Brackettville, Texas 78832.

Mr. César Cantu led the singing with his guitar, and Señora Estela Valdez led the Rosary followed by the special homenaje prayer by Señora Celestina Hernandez.

Afterwards maybe 20 or so of us enjoyed fellowship while drinking piping hot  champurada -- made with cornmeal  + cinnamon and lots of sugar -- and munching on pastilitos -- sweet rolls.

So, this special day got off to a great start! :)
