Broom-Head Romans in La Antigua Guatemala

Broom Head Romans in La Antigua Guatemala

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

    Guatemalan Romans…HMMMM, what an interesting concept. Probably as unusual as one of our East Texas “good ole’ boys” trying to portray A Roman, ya’ll. Wish I could be there for Holy Week.
