Plate 62: the result of a pastoral ministry, the Cristero uprising, from the portfolio 'Estampas de la revolución Mexicana' (prints of the Mexican Revolution)
See comment for 1993.1133.1–85.
In 1926–27 violent uprisings by rebels who called themselves Cristeros led to a civil war that continued until 1929. The Cristeros opposed the government policies of Plutarco Elías Calles, who sought to eliminate the pow-er of the church and to suppress popular religious celebrations. The uprising, supported by the church, which wanted to regain its lost privileges, diminished some of the progress made by the revolution.
