A day when you get a card from your favorites, is always a great day. I'm really happy to finally have this mexican card that has been on my favs wall for quite some years. I got it thanks to Desireé who was offering some cards on FB.
Cholula is located in the central Mexican state of Puebla. The city is best known for its Great Pyramid (the largest pyramid by volume known to exist in the world today), with the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios sanctuary on top, as well as its numerous churches.
In the background there's Popocatépetl, one of the most active volcanoes in Mexico.

The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Remedios (Our Lady of Remedies Church) is a 16th-century Mexican Catholic parish church built atop the Tlachihualtepetl pyramid. The church was built with carved stone and embellished with 24-carat gilded panels and shims, called laminilla. It has an altar in the neoclassical style. It was built between May 1574 and August 1575 and consecrated on March 25, 1629. The base on which the church is built is one of the largest pyramids of the ancient world, being 54 metres (177 ft) high, covering 54 acres and shaped by several superimposed structures over the course of six centuries. - in: wikipedia
