Alfombras Week #2

These weeks procession comes from Santa Ines. We didn't stick around from the procession itself but we did enjoy the Alfombras.






This one had quite a bit of pottery in it - because it was being built by the owners of the pottery shop in the blue building.



I think this group told Nancy they had already been working on their alfombra for about 12 hours...
I'm not sure he was actually helping - but he was having fun. :)










We had walked up the street and then back - this is the same alfombra as the first picture - they've made some progress


 
Pea Pods!

This is from inside the Santa Domingo hotel.

On the Friday before we went up to Santa Ines to see their Velaciones (holy vigil). This is their wash sink that was full of tulips.

Just outside the church you can buy any type of food - almost a carnival like atmosphere.

Santa Ines Church

The bread, fruits and vegetables are considered symbols of abundance and redemption.
