Easter!

Mexico being a Catholic country, Easter is BIG here. Everyone has had 2 weeks off, the schools closed, with parades, umpteen church services and even a full reinactment of JC being tried, nailed to the cross (not literally, thank goodness!) and dragging his cross through town.








The bishop came and in the town square they took down the basketball posts, built a stage and had a full mass, complete with baptisms, confirmations - the whole enchilada.








The square was packed with locals, taking part in this ceremony.








This isn't a great shot, but gives you an idea of how full the square was.
