The last Holy Mass in the parish of Valparaíso, Zacatecas, before the suspension of all public worship in Mexico

July 31, 1926

All Mexican Bishops, with the permission and backing of the Holy See, declared a total suspension of cult and worship in the country as a way of protesting the anti-catholic persecution carried out by the government.

One day before this suspension, all across Mexico the parishes, cathedrals, and all places where the Holy Mass was celebrated were filled with millions of Mexicans wanting to hear Mass and receive the Sacraments for the last time.

¡Viva Cristo Rey y Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe!
