Semana Santa Pic of the Day
This one was taken by my cuñado Felipe, who likes to get into potentially tricky spots to get the perfect Easter pic!

Semana Santa: (Moving) Pic of the Day
At this time in the morning I head for the Calle Ancha where some of the best carpets are made. This long one was on the road leading up there.

Semana Santa: (Moving) Pic of the Day
Listening to funereal music from speakers in doorways and salvos of familial bickering are just two of the local traditions associated with the preparation of ceremonial carpets in the small hours of Good Friday.

Semana Santa: Pic of the Day
There appears to be an urban legend that these members of the sacred processions are real jailbirds. While this might have happened on occasion in the past, it is not the norm.
Anyway, here in Antigua prisoners released on a day pass tend to be out murdering bishops rather than participating in religious festivities!

Semana Santa: Pic of the Day
This effort from the panadería on 5a Calle Poniente, more or less opposite Rafael Landívar's old house and monument. Bread is big during Semana Santa. The bakeries churn out pirujos in 'Venti' size knowing that family groups will be larger and that they along with other food shops will close for a couple of days as the Holy Week celebrations reach their culmination.

Semana Santa: Pic of the Day
This is less ceremonial carpet than obstacle course. I'm surprised none of the cargadores slipped on a loose cabbage.
Once the procession has passed it's fun to watch the mad scramble for free raddishes.
