I Pray for Child and Family
In Costa Rica there is a passion for religion, Here at the Basilica de Nuestra Señora de los Angeles in Costa Rica. In August the Basilica is the object of extensive pilgrimage and visitation by about 2.5 million believers throughout the country, many of whom join in the celebrated 22-kilometer walk to the basilica during the Romería. Though many people start the pilgrimage from locations all over Costa Rica, some, as a demonstration of their piety, choose to crawl the 22 kilometers on their hands and knees. Regardless when you come to this Cathedral the Stone of Mary Owing to the dark complexion of the stone statue, she is sometimes affectionately called La Negrita or Reina de Cartago (lit. Queen of Cartago). The original statue is kept in a golden shell inside the basilica. An official decree declared the Virgin of the Angels the official patron of Costa Rica.

The women holding the child reminds me of;Psalm 91:4
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge.
