Procession of La Merced

Cathedral with thousands of people looking at the procession

Procession of La Merced

Virgen Dolorosa

Behind every procession there is a group of people playing instrumental Lent and Holy Week processional marches. In the larger city processions, these bands add up to more than one hundred philaharminics.

Hello! I am one of the people that saw your link on the forum. Thank you so much for posting these pictures - what a blessing to see them during Holy Week. My daughter and son-in-law are adopting from Guatemala, and were there for a visit in January. They loved the beautiful scenery and the warmth an hospitality of the people they met. They are praying to get out of PGN soon. We are Catholic, so this is very special to go through Holy Week there with you. May the Lord Bless you and keep you in His Peace. Janet
