@lidiia_adventures: Interesting facts about Easter in Guatemala 🐣✝️🇬🇹 Semana Santa isn’t just Easter — it’s an entire week of traditions, considered one of the most beautiful celebrations in the world. 💛 Everything starts weeks before Easter: people prepare decorations, rehearse processions, and create alfombras — colorful carpets right on the streets. 💛 Alfombras are made from dyed sawdust, flowers, fruits, pine needles, and even vegetables — true works of art that last only a few hours. 💛 On procession days, large floats carrying religious figures pass over these carpets, carried by dozens of people. 💛 Each day of the week has its own meaning, but the most important are Good Friday and Easter Sunday. 💛 What’s fascinating is that all this beauty is created knowing it will be destroyed — that’s part of the symbolism: everything is temporary. This is more than just a holiday — it’s a blend of faith, culture, and stunning aesthetics that draws people from all over the world to Guatemala. Would you like to experience these traditions in person?😍 #guatemala #easter #semanasanta #semanasantaguatemala #semanasantaantigua
