La Merced Procession

Thousands flock to Antigua for the La Merced Procession on Good Friday, the largest and most solemn of the Lent and Holy Week processions.  All night residents, families, and friends prepare magnificent carpets throughout the procession route.  Early on Friday morning, we walked the carpets along the route, and later watched the procession.  Dsc_0572
