For anyone who wants it, a few seconds of contentment among the calm crowds awaiting service on Good Friday (Viernes Santo) in Bello. There aren't many folks in the surrounding streets - all is boarded and shut up, so only the deeply suffering are out sleeping or self-medicating or picking through trash. But here in the town square, everyone gathers and is at peace together, while vendors wander offering toys and refreshments in the wait. #Colombia
@MLClark True that.
When the doors opened, the Good Friday display - the empty cross - came out. I wasn't able to catch yesterday's procession due to rain. Always interesting, though - the rituals with which so many fill lives and shape their sense of community.
