Good Grief for Good Friday

Cold, wet weather dampened on the Holy Week celebrations, but the procession must march on.


I was sick with the flu all week (sadly typical at the start of the rainy season. The feces and bacteria in the fields wash into the water and people get sick). I missed the crucifixion reenactment and the fight between the Romans and the “Jews,” but I did venture out on Good Friday to see the alfombras (carpets) that Catholics create to greet the procession as people march about town.
