利马「奇迹之主」十月首场游行：数千信众随像巡游市中心，紫色十月正式开启
利马——10月3日周六，数千名天主教信众在利马市中心参加「奇迹之主」本年度的首场游行。这幅秘鲁最受敬奉的圣像在正午弥撒后由纳萨雷纳斯教堂抬出，奇迹之主兄弟会成员身着紫色长袍、轮流肩扛圣像平台沿市中心街道巡游，乐队随行，身着紫袍黑纱的妇女手持香炉，香烟缭绕。
奇迹之主崇拜源于17世纪，利马每年10月都会举行多场巡游，整个月份被称作「紫色十月」，是秘鲁规模最大的宗教传统之一。美联社在现场采访的信众表示，这一传统在家族间代代相传，许多人每年第一个周六都会前来；有信众说，她自女儿出生后不久便将其托付于奇迹之主，三十多年来从未缺席。
今年的首场游行与选举周末重叠：为保障10月4日地区与市政选举，全国自10月3日上午8时起实施48小时「禁酒令」，酒类销售暂停至10月5日上午，选举日当天投票时段内亦禁止演出与公共集会。宗教巡游在选举静默期中照常举行，为利马街头带来与选战无关的另一种人群聚集。
奇迹之主的后续巡游将在10月内继续进行。对利马华人社区而言，十月也是重阳临近的时节，利马的宗教节庆与华社的敬老传统在同一月份交汇，构成这座城市多元共生的日常图景。

Lima's Lord of Miracles Opens Its October Processions as Thousands Follow the Image Through the Capital
LIMA - Thousands of Catholic worshippers joined the first Lord of Miracles procession of the year through central Lima on Saturday, October 3. After a midday Mass at the Church of Las Nazarenas, members of the Brotherhood of the Lord of Miracles, dressed in purple robes, carried the revered image into the streets on an ornate platform, with bearer teams rotating along the route, a marching band in attendance and women in purple carrying incense burners.
Devotion to the Lord of Miracles dates to the 17th century, and Lima holds multiple processions each October - the so-called Purple Month - in one of Peru's largest religious traditions. Devotees interviewed by the Associated Press at the scene said the tradition is passed from family to family and that many return every first Saturday of October; one woman said she had entrusted her daughter to the Lord shortly after her birth and had not missed a year in more than three decades.
This year's first procession coincided with an election weekend: ahead of the October 4 regional and municipal vote, a nationwide dry law ran from 8 a.m. on October 3 to 8 a.m. on October 5, suspending alcohol sales, and shows and public meetings were barred during voting hours on election day. The religious procession went ahead within the campaign-silence period, drawing a different kind of crowd to Lima's streets.
Further Lord of Miracles processions continue through October. For Lima's Chinese community, the month also brings the approach of the Double Ninth Festival, and the city's religious calendar and the community's elder-honouring traditions share the same weeks.
