Guatemala 2007: Semana Santa and Procesiones
Semana Santa means Holy Week and is the week before Easter and of Good Friday. While in Antigua I was able to see many processions (procesiones). My favorite was the procecion infantil or kids' procession. Also, on Thursday night I was able to walk around and see all the alfombras that people were making. Alfombra means rug. People make these beautiful "rugs" out of died sawdust on plants/flowers. At dawn of Good Friday, the alfombras were marched over by the processions. It made me think about the work of Jesus in a different way.
