Believers pay homage to 'the Lord of the Miracles'
 
A child dressed in purple attends a major procession of Peru's most revered Catholic religious icon, "the Lord of the Miracles", in central Lima October 18, 2009. The procession - which gathers together the largest number of believers in South America - dates back to colonial times, when a slave, brought over from Angola, drew the image of a black Christ on the walls of a wretched hut in the plantation of Pachacamilla, near Lima.
