I came across my first paso while I was going to my rollerblading class. This one was kept in a container-looking thing and the locals all went to pay their respect to it.
Thanks
to our intercambio friend, Gastón, we found some churches which were open and
took some photos from behind the Spanish who come all dressed up with their
families to visit the statues, the reverence is clear on their faces. We knew
the pasos will be big and elaborate
but their size and beauty still took us by surprise.
The
face of this Virgin was cunningly lit up by the light of a well-positioned lamp.
In
the front of Christ’s paso there’s a
wooden bit. This is used to communicate with the costaleros, the people who are inside it, carrying the whole float.
