Holy Monday in Teotitlán del Valle

April 16, 2017 by spixl

As the last couple of posts hinted, this year, instead of the city, I spent much of Semana Santa (Holy Week) in one of my favorite places — Teotitlán del Valle.

This was only the beginning. It was a colorful, moving, and delicious experience!

Incredibly, wonderful photographs as only one who has been embraced by community could take.

  Thank you. When I heard the chanting as procession moved from one casita to another, I knew I had to record it and use it in a slideshow.
