'Lord of Miracles' in procession in Peru

Believers dressed in purple carry a painting of the "Lord of Miracles," Peru's most revered Catholic religious icon, in a major procession through central Lima October 18, 2010. The procession, which draws the largest gathering of believers on the continent, can be traced to the colonial era in which an Angolan slave drew the image of a black Jesus Christ on the walls of a hut in the plantation of Pachacamila, near Lima.
