    Last Monday PBS aired "Brimstone and Glory" on "POV" ("Point of View")
    telling what it's like living in Tultepec, Mexico. For the three-quarters of Tultepec residents who work in pyrotechnics, fireworks are more than just entertainment. They are the "soul" of the city, and they describe how they
    rely on the patron saint St. John of God, to protect them from harm.
