Señor de la Misericordia Patronage
According to popular legend, in 1835, Don Pedro Medina, a poor, old farmer, saw from the outside of his home in the countryside an intense light, coming from the Cerro Gordo. The first few days, he thought it must have been some kind of coal or wood furnace. But he kept seeing the light for a few more days, so he decided he would climb the mountain up to the place to see what was going on. When he finally got to the place where he had seen the light, he found nothing, until he turned his head towards an oak tree, and found in it, an image slightly reminiscent to a crucifix. He was so amazed, he decided it he wanted everyone to see his "Father" as he called it, and so, decided to chop the tree down, and take it into the city. Pedro Medina was a poor man, so to get it from up on the mountain, to his ranch, he had to ask his neighbor for a couple of oxen to bring it down. However, when they cut the image down, and attached it to the oxen, it would not move, so Medina told his "compadre" to turn the image face up, and as soon as they did this, the oxen moved with immense ease. In town, the adoration to the holy image grew so big, that Don Pantaleon Leal offered Don Pedro Medina his home as a shrine to the image. And after a few years, in 1831, the Shrine erected in his honor stands, and every year, the city fills with over 2 million visitors to adore him and ask him for favors. His feast is celebrated on the 30 of April, day on which he was brought into his current shrine, and grand festivities are held, for he is the patron of the city.Demographics
The municipality has a population of 136,703, of which 104,377 (2009 estimate) live within the city limits of the municipal seat, Tepatitlán, and the rest in the outlying communities and ranches.The city is the state's sixth-largest community and serves as a significant city outside of the capital, providing the most important university in the region of Los AltosLos Altos

Parroquia de San Francisco de Asís
Of neoclassic style, with baroque reminiscence, this grand temple was built from 1742–1775, from piedra braza. It is topped with two slender, neoclassic towers, 63m in height each, and three airy domes, all of this designed by the tepatitlense mason, Don Martín Pozos; On the side of the facade, it has a curious architectural element: a semi-hexagonal pórtico, which was added as a support for the heavy and slender towers, which he was told, would fall if he did not add support. In the inside, it is embellished by the main altar, constructed entirely of white marble from Carrara and the sculptures of the four Evangelists, sculpted by the Italian architect, Augusto C.
