Broom-Head Romans in La Antigua Guatemala

Posted in Holy Week, People, Processions | Saturday, March 15th, 2008 | 4 Comments »

I have honestly tried not put as many Cuaresma/Lent and Semana Santa/Holy Week photos here. But sometimes it’s impossible not published photos like today’s. Talk about the idiosyncrasy of Guatemalans, have you ever seen a more convincing set of Roman Soldiers in your life?
