St Anthony Part 2

This is the original church. Obviously, this crowd would never fit into the church. My guess is that there were about 10,000 people that Tuesday. I was told that on the feast it is about 100,000 people who come. Some even come the night before and campout.
The other building is the home for the many priests who were present.
Above the church people walk up to the top of the rocks toward the cross. What I was unaware of is that people bring food to share. Most come as multi-generational families. On the rocks are candles that are lighted as prayers to God.
This is walking down to the Church and open pavilion. The other building you might see, is the building where there are priests available for reconcilation. In this picture, you can see families together. Sadly, there are also people begging. And the sale of many articles plus food.
