Colima is filled with faith, tradition and color every second Tuesday in January with one of its most beloved celebrations: the entrance of the Lord of the Expiration, an event that marks the beginning of the patron saint festivities of Rancho de Villa.
In the quiet of dawn, a pilgrimage full of devotion departs from Coquimatlán, advancing with a firm step to welcome the dawn in Lo de Villa, Colima.
Vibrant dances, pastorelas full of symbolism and the fervor of the attendees become a living tribute to the pilgrim image of the Lord of the Expiration. Each step, each prayer and each act of gratitude or supplication reflect the intimate bond between the faithful and their faith, uniting locals and visitors in a collective manifestation of hope and devotion that transcends time.
