In the Thick of It by Valerie Rosen
“Cuaresma”, or Lent, refers to the 40 days leading up to Holy Week in Guatemala. Traditionally, people give something up for Lent, but this is not a common practice in Guatemala, though fish is more commonly eaten during this time in place of meat. Instead, the Guatemalans work on repentance by signing up to carry in the processions as cucuruchos, or float carriers. This was taken at the 1st procession of Lent in Antigua, Guatemala on March 20, 2011.
