Incredible Colorful Streets Carpets Photos Made of Sand in Antigua
What is wonder than seeing Carpets made out sand and sawdust and
decorated with plants and flowers? In my opinion it's extraordinary and
incredible . This happens in some of Central American countries like
Guatemala and Honduras, Semana Santa, or Holy Week, This event is a
very special celebration in all Catholic countries, but the people of
Antigua manage to take it different every year. During the month of
lent, processions run through the city streets, each Sunday, with people
carrying large statues of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. It’s truly a
sight to behold, but it’s nothing compared to what happens during the
last week before Easter. Local families and businesses work together to
create the alfombras, incredibly beautiful carpets made of sand and
sawdust, right on the cobblestone streets of Antigua.
