During the Holy Week processions in Antigua, Guatemala, the streets are covered in breathtakingly elaborate and colorful carpets of colored sawdust and flower petals along the route of the processions. No one steps on the carpets until the float of Christ has passed over. The beautiful but fragile works of art are destroyed as the processions shuffle through them. But the carpet making process is the important part for those who make them; the people of each block on the route of the processions work together to design and implement the carpets and take great pride on their colorful creations.
