My friends Enrique and Jennifer were married in Guatemala during Semana Santa. They told me about the wonderfully designed "Alfombras" (carpets) of colored sawdust, flowers, pine needles etc that are made by each neighborhood that the processions carrying the special alters will go through. When I Googled: Semana Santa, Guatemala, the first item was "Images". I am blown away by the varied, intricate, colorful designs that line the street centers for the participants to walk along. Check it out. Now this is Art!!
Enrique grew up there and had not realized how special it was until he left and came back. Jennifer and her Mom couldn't stop talking about how wonderful these group created Alfombras are.
