La granadina

It's the spring semester of my junior year, so I am celebrating with un gran viaje filled with classes (unfortunately) and crazy foreign fun.

Semana Santa

Jesus (aka Jesucristo) on His way to Resurrection. Semana Santa sculptures are all made of carved and painted wood, most copies of 17th-century works of art by the famous, famous Baroque artists I study in class. The Easter ones, however, are modern pieces designed to lengthen Semana Santa—a purely capitalistic intent.
