Antigua Churches: Iglesia de Guadalupe

Antigua Churches: Iglesia de Guadalupe

Yes, believe it or not there is a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe church in La Antigua Guatemala. Interesting enough, though, for the Our Lady of Guadalupe celebrations on December 12, Iglesia de La Merced is the main venue where everyone goes and take their children dressed in native Guatemalan garments. Also, the Retablo, Reredo for Our Lady of Guadalupe is housed within the San Francisco El Grande church, the official location of Virgen de Guadalupe. To be honest, I don’t know for what purposes they use this church; does anybody know?

Antigua Churches: Iglesia de Belén

Santo Hermano Pedro de San José de Betancourt introduced the Nativity scenes and rituals to the American continent so it is only fitting that he’s portrayed inside the Nacimiento in the Capilla de Belén, located right across from the house where he lived.

Inside El Calvario Church

Inside El Calvario Church Atrium

I have been accused by some close friends of never showing the inside of churches in AntiguaDailyPhoto. Okay, they might be partially right, so I will make an honest effort to go inside churches to bring you new images from within the temples. However, we will go slow, for now it will be the atriums. For instance, today’s photo is a vista from the inside looking out of El Calvario Church.

What do you think, are you interested in seeing the inside of churches and ruins?

Blue Skies Are Us

Blue Skies Are Us

Definitely, blue skies are us during the dry season. During the rainy season, the sky line remains white and gray most of the time. No wonder I love the dry season with its clear skies, wonderful light, cool climate and colorful celebrations.

You have to visit Antigua Guatemala at least once during the dry season to enjoy blue skies like the above.
