tradiciones de Semana Santa
Se trata de una tradición que se realiza en Guatemala para la Semana Santa. Los católicos organizan procesiones en las que llevan en "andas" las imágenes de Jesús y de la Virgen María. Los vecinos de las calles en donde pasa la procesión hacen alfombras (del ancho de la calle) de aserrín, frutas y flores para que las procesiones pasen sobre ellas.
