Sechura
– This town sits surrounded by desert near the coast in Northern
Peru. The dusty streets are lined with brick homes painted in colors bleached
by the sun. At the center of the town is a crumbling cathedral that was
once the town’s great point of pride. On the day of the Lord of
Miracles, the grand imagen is placed in the doorway of the church for
people to pray and light candles before during the day. In the late evening
it is carried through the town in a procession surrounded by purple clad
worshippers and incense. |
