Palm Sunday Procession 2007 5/7

The procession continues...

A couple at their altar outside their house denoting a stop along the route for prayers and readings. I notice few people have decorations in their homes, such as pictures etc. Mostly to do with the fact they cost hard earned and scarce money. But every house here seems to have a well used bible, which is used here on this little altar.
If you remember back there were many houses in Ireland where the only decorations on the kitchen walls were John F. Kennedy & the Mrs, The Pope and The Sacred Heart. Here the decoration consists of a religious calendar, maybe even a previous years calendar if the picture is holy enough looking!



Another Drama by another catechism class.


Jesus is still on his Donkey leading us to the church, like he led the people of Jerusalem to the Temple and incurred the wrath and jealously of the Pharisees.


Two "meninas" {girls} happy to pose for a photo and display their message.


At this stage we are entering the main part of town leaving the dirt roads behind us for one of our two tarred roads.
