Catholic parishioners are keeping alive the devotion and prayers to the Black Christ of Esquipulas of Guatemala during the mass being offered by Cardinal Alvaro Ramazzini at St. Patrick's Church in Manhattan, New York, on January 7, 2024. Today, Guatemalans are commemorating the Black Christ of Esquipulas, which is located 85 miles east of Guatemala City. Cardinal Alvaro Ramazzini, from the diocese of Huehuetenango, is expressing his concerns about the political situation in Guatemala after leaving the country in early December. He has mentioned hearing about a ''strong letter'' sent by the Guatemalan government to the Vatican against him and is aware of rumors about an arrest warrant issued for him since he voiced fears of a coup being prepared to stop Guatemala's elected president, Bernardo Arevalo, from taking office on January 14, 2024.
