On the fourth week of La Semana Santa (the holy week) in Antigua, Guatemala. During La Semana Santa, an event called 'Procession' is held, in which people hold large portable shrines carrying statues of Christ and Mary and march through the city towards the cathedral. And this day it started raining hard and being cold outside, but they just kept walking silently in more pain to empathize with the pain of Jesus Christ.
