CARBAJAL LOPEZ, David. Processions: Space, Religion and Politics in Orizaba, 1762-1834. Relac. Estud. hist. soc. [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.124, pp.19-54. ISSN 2448-7554.

In the second half of the 18^th century, public space in the villa of Orizaba was the scene -practically on a daily basis- of numerous processions. Usually organized by secular religious corporations, they combined devout celebrations with exhibitions of a more profane character. Detailed observation of those events reveals a tendency towards a growing participation by external actors (first, the king, and later, after Independence, the federal and state governments), as well as greater politicization.
