The Floats

The flower wreath in the upper part of the picture is a float carried by about8 men. These are heavy items that they carry up the uneven stone steps of the church about 12 up. The children run before each float with incense cans. Between the smoke, the smell, the fireworks going off, the bell ringing, the paper from the fireworks falling back to earth, and the serious nature of the procession, it is quite a spectacle.
