Mexico celebrates patron saint: Pilgrims call for an end to ongoing violence

In Mexico, over 430,000 people have been murdered since the onset of the so-called war on drugs in 2006. As the country observes its most significant religious holiday on Thurs-day, the Catholic Church hopes the occasion will serve as an inspiration to end the ongoing violence.
