Casual Jesus on the bus back from class in Bosques de las Lomas.

Most of the buses I get on here have a giant crucifix on the dashboard and a huge Jesus sticker on the glass behind the driver. This one was particularly graphic and bleedy. A lot of the time there's also a Saint Jude lurking somewhere; he's the patron saint of hopeless causes so if you see him, you know your driver is a badass. On the 28th of every month near to Metro Station 'Hidalgo' hundreds of people of all ages flock to church to get their blinged up statues blessed. Around the church you can buy wristbands, bags and personalised St Jude T-shirts. You can even get temporary tattoos; last time I saw a baby with one on it's face.
