The grandiose Basilica de Suyapa in Tegucigalpa plays host to one of Central America's smallest, yet most adored statues - the Virgin of Supaya, the patron saint of Honduras. Standing at a little over 2 inches tall the Virgin of Supaya is worshipped with a fervour inversely proportional to her dimunitive stature.
Each February 3rd pilgrims flock to Tegucigalpa to grab a glimpse of the statue and celebrate her name day.
