Each Holy Week, thousands of residents of the colonial, volcano-fringed city of Antigua participate in some of Guatemala's oldest and most popular Easter traditions.
Some carry the block-long floats with centuries-old sacred images in turns of more than 100 men, others line the streets with carpets they make in elaborate designs with colored sawdust and tropical flowers, which the float bearers will plod over in nearly daylong processions.
