Hondurans turn to patron Saint for help
In a country racked with a major political crisis, many Hondurans are turning to their patron Saint, Our Lady of Suyapa, in hopes of getting back on track. In 1986, a religious icon of the Saint was grabbed from its sanctuary in a church, but was later left in a men's room at a restaurant. A little shrine commemorates its return. Originally, in 1747, a peasant bedded down at the side of a road woke to find the wooden statue jabbing him in the ribs.
