Taxco

So I know these pictures are really old but I couldn't not put them up. These are from when we went to Taxco on Good Friday. Every year they have a procession with people who believe that they need to offer something to God for a miracle that they had happen. Both Men and women do it and they wear black and have their faces covered. They spend a year preparing for this. The women have chains linked to both their hands and feet and they walk barefoot. The men carry a bunch of branches that are much like those of a black berry bush. They also walk barefoot. It was a very interesting experience.
