Cobblestone Resurrection

Copan Ruinas, Honduras – These images were taken the Thursday evening before Easter Sunday.  Several city blocks were roped off for this wood shaving art ceremony.

The process of transforming these rocky streets was amazing to see:  taking cobblestone and making them look smooth as silk with colored wood dust.

One unique thing about Copan’s Easter street scene is that it incorporates Christian scenarios with Mayan hieroglyphs.
