Guatemala Semana Santa photos (Part II)

We made it to Panajachel!

Families having fun in the water.
Cute old man transporting horses. 




The water was shockingly very, very clear.

Street food... yum.

 
Beautiful sunset by the lake. 


Alfombras.
Back in Antigua... processionals.



The sawdust ones are my favorite! Such brilliant colors!!


 

 

All Alfombras are made to be destroyed by the processionals. The processionals display Jesus in multiple scenes.

 


 




 

 





It was a blessing to be able to see the tradition up close and personal. 
Way to go Antigua for keeping the tradition going. 
I think this year was the 100th anniversary of the tradition.
