My Semana Santa Moment (Sara Tess)

Our week in Antigua was filled with so many amazing moments for me: making our alfombra and watching the procession walk over it, hearing the music of the bands reverberate inside La Merced as the andas were brought back into the church at the end of the procession on Friday morning, seeing all of the people making their own alfombras and watching the multiple processions, and our trip out of the city to Lake Atitlan. But my Semana Santa moment was a small, quiet moment. On Easter Sunday morning, Rene drove us up in groups to Cerro de la Cruz, a park on a hill overlooking the city. Up there in the quiet morning, the sky was clear so we could see all of Antigua and all three volcanoes around the city. That beautiful site was the perfect time to reflect back on all of the activities of the past week and what an unforgettable experience we had just had. It was the perfect quiet culmination of our week of amazing opportunities.
