    Great photo! Did you take it? I expect Charlton Heston to barrel through the middle of the procession.....

  2. Yes, I took it! I'm slowly getting some of my travel pics from the 80s scanned. This Via Cruces in this indigenous village in Mexico was one of the most amazing things I've seen. The town folk really beat up the poor guy playing Jesus. By the end of the day they crucified him and took him away in an ambulance.
