Back in March 6th I showed to you the entry doorway of Hotel Santo Domingo (Holy Sunday, by the way) with violet banners adorning the crown of the door passage and as a mark of the Lent season. Well to honor the Doors and Windows category I needed to follow up with a pair of windows wearing the familiar purple banners for the Cuaresma season.

As you can see, violet and purple are becoming a popular color for the Antigua Guatemala DP. I am glad yellow and purple play well together, since I have a tendency to photograph yellow walls and buildings.

Rudy, aquí todavía queda algo más de una semana para las procesiones de Semana Santa!

Rudy,
I was recently asked by a visiting doctor from the states what was the significance of the color purple during Semana Santa. I didn’t have the answer. Could you enlighten us about that?
Thanks,
Santiago

For all your recent photos – lots of wows. This will be my first Semana Santa in Guatemala, in 17 years of visiting!!!!! Can’t wait!

The purple drapes certainly dress up this otherwise plain building.

I look at your site every day. Your pictures are how I fell in love with Guatemala. I have learned so much about your country, the people and customs from you. I love each and every picture, comment and ESPECIALLY the politics... —Catherine
