A Religious Inclination

by Andrew Dorris

Throughout this country there is a very strong religious presence that cannot be denied. One day I was exploring Quinta Normal, one of the many parks, when I stumbled upon La Parroquia de Lourdes. It was massive and beautiful, and people were gathered all around it. Upon closer investigation I found that there was a chapel off to the side and people have come to light candles, pray, and be in the presence of a power greater than their own.
