More Semana Santa - Friday afternoon and evening







So the pageantry continued throughout the day. Jesus (the live version, enacted by the youth of the church) was led in ropes through town, always followed by a crowd, with the park filled wall to wall with people swarming to watch. Then a while later he was led through the streets again carrying a huge wooden cross. For a while on a little stage next to the church ther was a flurry of activity we couldn't see, but eventually first one, then two, then three crosses, just like in the Bible, were raised on the stage, each with what I first thought was a mannekin but then discovered was a live human man on it, Jesus of course in the middle. I will try to attach a few second video of Jesus's shudders at the end of his life--in Nebaj!
