Faithful in Chile threw rose petals on a statue of the Virgin Mary during a commemoration of the Immaculate Conception, in Valparaíso. People rode the Samba Train to celebrate National Samba Day in Rio de Janeiro. Haitian students commuted to school on a motorcycle in Port-au-Prince. Pilgrims in Mexico arrived at Our Lady of Guadalupe Basilica marking the feast day of the patroness in one of the world's largest religious pilgrimages.
