Of Penance and Alfombras | Cayo Scoop!  The Ecology of Cayo Culture | Scoop.it

Joe Awe has a nice article about the sawdust tapestries of Benque. Cayo culture at its finest, and it'll be happening again on April 3rd.


"In Belize, Benque Viejo Del Carmen, the western-most town is where these displays of passion happen every Holy Week.  This is a very proud town of people who speak Spanish predominantly and whose Catholic upbringing is anchored deeply into the culture.  A few hours of their time to create such wonderful art is worth the time for penance."
