Cuba's National Saint Tours Havana

HAVANA, CUBA - DECEMBER 23: The Virgin of Charity (Virgen de la Caridad del Cobre), the Catholic patroness of Cuba, is carried through the streets of Havana on December 23, 2011 in Havana, Cuba. The statue, which usually resides in the St. Thomas Church in Santiago de Cuba, has been touring the island since the beginning of 2011, prior to its 400th anniversary in 2012. Pope Benedict XVI plans to visit Cuba in spring 2012. The Cuban capital is the last stop and the pilgrimage of the image of the Caridad de Cobre will come to an end on December 30, 2011.
