All people (local or tourists) are invited to join and help in the making of the carpets in the streets. You have to be very carefull and for many people this is a one time life experience.
Here is a pic so you can imagine how crowdy it is in these days in Antigua Guatemala streets with a lot of security for foreigners.
This guy climbed up to have a better visual of the festivities (processions)
Women also carry a wood plaftorm (procession). In Christianity this is a religious way to reenact the Passion of Christ in a ceremonial manner.
How do you live Holy Week or Easter in your area?
