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

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.

😅 The rain started up suddenly almost at the time service started. The rest of the display is... struggling to go up in time. The figurines with bags over their heads is a touch creepy but I am also SUPER curious about the chicken on one of the platforms. What a detail.
