Today, Lunes Santo (Holy Monday), found me in Teotitlán del Valle, as Jesús and María were carried on palanquins in a slow moving procession through town, from one temporary tapete (rug) adorned casita to another. They will make twelve stops in all.
This casita was erected by the family of the Vice President of the village Church Committee, Amado Gutiérrez, father of Porfirio Gutiérrez, of whom I have previously written.
There was food and drink and so much more to this solemn expression of faith, so please stay tuned…

Is it still possible to see Alejandro Santiago’s Migrant sculptures anywhere near Oaxaca?
There are small ones (and maybe some full size) in the courtyard of Museo de Arte Prehispánico Rufino Tamayo on Morelos between Tinoco y Palacios and Porfirio Díaz. They’ve been there for several months and I don’t know for how much longer.
I love all your photos of Semana Santa.
Thank you so much!
I love all the photos too! So perfect and so moving. Look forward to seeing more on this topic – and all other topics! Thank you! Gracias!
Thank you Barbra! So much to process — both in terms of photos and understanding.
