Temple Lord of Tila, Church in Leona Vicario, Balancan, Mexico
The Temple Lord of Tila stands with a multicolored facade painted in pastel shades of pink, yellow, purple, green, and blue against the Tabasco landscape.
The construction of the temple began in 1996 through community initiatives, with residents organizing food sales and gatherings to collect necessary funds for its completion.
The temple honors the Lord of Tila, whose devotion originates from Chiapas and survived attempts of destruction during the Mexican Revolution by Venustiano Carranza's army.
The church receives daily visits from neighboring communities of Multe, Laguna Coronada, and Arenal, with a small lagoon in front offering photography opportunities.
The temple sits among sunflower fields that bloom for twenty days between April 13th and 28th, creating a seasonal display of natural beauty.
