Semana Santa, Sawdust Carpet - Antigua, Guatemala
© April 10 2009, Uncornered Market

Neighbors place the final designs on a sawdust carpet (alfombra) at dawn on Good Friday (Viernes Santo).

Families begin their carpet projects in the middle of the night and work through morning until the procession comes through.
