Easter Carpets in Antigua, Guatemala: They only last for an hour!

During Lent and Holy Week, Guatemalans and tourists come to Antigua, Guatemala to see the religious processions and beautiful temporary carpets that are created in the streets. The carpets (las alfombras) are made of dyed sawdust or natural materials like grasses and flowers. The carpets are finished just before the procession passes over them and destroys them, a reminder that everything in life is temporary. Want to make your own alfombra?
