Yet another celebration in San Miguel: Nuestro Señor de la Conquista

The festivities never end.  The latest, Nuestro Señor de la Conquista celebrates Catholicism conquering the indigenous religious beliefs.  It actually demonstrates that the indigenous beliefs have endured, but have incorporated elements of Christianity.  Take a look and see what you think.



 Poor jaguar!

 I hope this little girl doesn't wake up suddenly........yikes!


 That's a crocodile head
 Taking a break from hours of dancing on the stones
 A bird on the head and jugo de jamaica in the hand....................and a codpiece on the ---  bird!
Very pretty dancer massaging her bandaged foot
