Holy Week -- Semana Santa

Hello, today at noon the official holy week has started in my country. It is a tradition with rich history and beauty and I want to share a few pictures I found around the net

this is a procession and it is one of the ones that are done at la Antigua you can see the effort in the detail for the "Anda" they are usually heavy and many persons are required to take it around the route, some processions needs even exceed the 100 men per side.
The most important ones take place friday night when christ is mourned.

and for every single procession a lot of carpets are hand-made here is an example:

It is very common that more than a procession passes by the same streets so you see a lot of people rushing to create new carpets after a procession has passed where another is going to pass.

I hope you don't mind a post that  removed from my usual theme but I thought that you would like to know a bit more about my country and its traditions.
