Every year, the Knights of Columbus pass five silver roses
from Canada to Mexico on a massive relay in honour of Our Lady of Guadalupe. This year, Pope Francis
accepted one of those roses after the long pilgrimage ended.
Was it the same one? A silver rose
came through B.C. in 2013. It was here for three weeks, stopping in small towns and going as far north as Fort Saint John.
