Semana Santa is past but here are some of the striking images of the celebration! The colorful carpets are representative of the palm branches and coats people laid down to cushion the road as Jesus rode into Jerusalem on the donkey. These alfombras (carpets) are made with colored sawdust, flowers, or other creative materials. They cushion the road as Jesus passes by in processions.
