Devils

Devils

Another bit of the traditions of town.

On Saturday there is this celebration called "La quema de Judas" (I think the translation to english is Burning Judas)
People create devils, or mockery figures of people that are considered evil.

Some reallly nice figures, nice on the handicraft technique, can be seen like in the pics.

And once it is night, they start burning them, lots of fireworks and explosions.

Really fun to see.

Altars

I continue with the religious festivities that took place during the last week.
Part of it is the altars to virgin Mary.
It is related to the mourning, for her sons death.
The purple color is because of that and the importance of the date.

I wanted to share pics of those 4 altars.

Downtown SLP

I was back at my hometown, visiting my family.
Nice to be way from the island, from the hot weather, from the job for a few little days.
Terrible to fly by planes, airlines that are always late.
Religious weekend, so lots of places with quite some people. But the religious festivities are fun.

Some snaps from Downtown in San Luis Potosi

Top Left, is the Chatedral, it was restored a few time ago. Really nice building
Top Right, a look at the ceiling from inside, lots of details and decorations.
Down Left, a detail from inside the church of El Carmen. Lots of figures, one can spend hours just looking into ever little detail in there.
Down Middle, the church of "El Carmen", a really nice church.
Down Right, a night shot of one tower of the temple of san Francisco.

I like walking downtown when its not full of people, lots of really beautifull buildings.
