Festival of Santo Tomás, ChiCHicastenango, Guatemala
There are two religious processions per day, lead by the Cofradia, honorary council of community leaders carrying altars decorated with flowers and fruit collecting the saints from neighborhood chapels and taking them to the Church of Santo Tomás.
From morning till night gangs of men worked diligently to make sure that something was exploding somewhere at all times usually within 20 feet of where you were standing. |
