Wikipedia: Chalma is a small community, which is part of the municipality of Malinalco, Mexico State. Its small population is almost completely dedicated to the pilgrims who come to visit the Sanctuary of Chalma, the second most-important pilgrimage site in Mexico. The sanctuary is dedicated to an image of a black Christ on a cross that legend says miraculously appeared in an area cave where the worship of a deity named Oxtoteotl used to take place.
