"Semana Santa, or Holy Week, in Antigua is a beautiful and deeply religious celebration that attracts visitors from around the world. Antigua's colonial streets come alive with elaborate processions, colourful carpets (alfombras) made of flowers and sawdust, and traditional ceremonies. The city becomes a hub of religious devotion, with participants carrying heavy floats depicting biblical scenes through the streets. The combination of solemn religious rituals, lively festivities, and the backdrop of Antigua's beautiful architecture makes Semana Santa a truly unique and captivating experience for both locals and visitors."
