The procession

The day I arrived was Lent, which is kind of a big deal here. They had a whole procession through town. And yes, those women are carrying that. Check out the videos below...

That's a lot of dudes in purple robes...

I think this is where the procession gets on its knees...

These were just lying around in an abandoned church....

The robe shop which does very brisk business one week per year....
