A wonderful commemorative DVD, which captures the magnificence of the inaugural Archdiocesan Mass in honor of the Black Christ of Esquipulas at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. The mass was officiated by Rodolfo Cardinal Quezada Toruño from Guatemala and Edward Cardinal Egan from New York. Plus a documentary, written and directed by Luis Argueta, which explains the origin of the mass and invites us to meditate on the significance of this extraordinary event for Guatemalans in general and immigrants to the US in particular. "It was a wonderful occasion...unforgettable... a major experience for Guatemala and for Guatemalans here in the US. It was not just an event with great religious and spiritual meaning, but it also had enormous significance in terms of Guatemalan identity and solidarity". Rev. Richard Terga, CCIM
