Easter in Orosi

This has been strange this year, and I still don't know what to make of it.

There was a small parade on Good Friday, and most of the businesses were closed. including the medical clinic. There were not many spectators. The parade included a number of people in wheelchairs, that was unusual. The center of the street contained a thick layer of colored sawdust in religious patterns. And the people in the parade (mostly dressed as Roman Soldiers) walked on either side of this. The religious statues being carried (that were supposed to impress you with their suffering) were not very impressive.

This morning (Saturday) all the sawdust was gone, and traffic was normal.
