Sawdust Carpet photos from our visit to Copán -- a Catholic tradition during Semana Santa (Holy Week) in a few cities in Honduras
This process took a couple days to complete and culminated in a long procession on the night before Easter Sunday
Many people worked for 2 days and through the night on these carpets in the main streets of Copán -- most just used brightly dyed sawdust, but others had fresh flowers, rice, dried beans and other materials.
View from a ladder of the stations of the cross -- quite a memorable time and unique perspective on the celebration and dedication of Christ's death and resurrection.
