Running Down Judas
Running Down Judas
Tomorrow, The Burning of Judas.
every year during semana de la Santa, the holy week, Guatemalans dress up as Roman soldiers and ceremonially chase Judas through the streets for his betrayal.
tomorrow they're going to build effigies of Judas and burn them.
this picture is the front of a procession of 20 or so school children dressed like Roman soldiers ceremonially chasing down Judas.
some of the processions last for a whole street so I had to dodge six different processions today to try and get back to my neighborhood.
