The Angel of Tzintzuntzan

Semana Santa - Tzintzuntzan

Easter in Tzintzuntzan is a potent mix of Purépecha and Catholic rituals and celebrations, captured beautifully in these stunning b + w images.

If you wish to learn more about this ancient lakeside town, I recommend Randy Johnson’s intelligent photo essay.

Two year’s ago, of course, I was in Tolimán, witnessing the re-enactment of the crucifixion on the summit of the hill they call Calvary. Heady stuff.

Billie Mercer took these photos in San Miguel de Allende on Good Friday.
