[1/5] A priest blesses Argentine faithfuls during San Cayetano's (Saint Cajetan) feast day, the patron saint of labour and bread, at San Cayetano church in Buenos Aires, Argentina August 7, 2023.
"Walking around this neighborhood, there are many people who have come from other parts of the country to ask for work.
People are asking a saint because they can't ask the politicians," said retiree Juan Mura, 58.
"I would like the politicians to come here and see the reality of the people."
He said he had come to pray to St. Cayetano for years and he hadn't been let down so far, despite the country's long-running economic woes.
