Cayo Scoop! The Ecology of Cayo Culture

The Institute for Social and Cultural Research got 100's of great pictures of Holy Week in Benque.  Another amazing week of culture in Benque.

"As part of our pilot project to document Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), our team was present in Benque for the various activities of Holy Week.  A very special thank you to the Mr. David Ruiz, the organizing committee and the community for allowing us this privilege."

Benque's culture and history show during Holy Week, and this year there's a lot happening for it.  Palm Sunday(pictures) was celebrated yesterday.  They are doing a Eucharist and Procession tonight in honor of Our Lady of Sorrows.  Tomorrow night, it's the procession of El Encuentro.  Friday is the famous Sawdust Art Project, and the Passion of the Christ re-enactment.   Saturday is the Easter Vigil.  Happy Holy Week!

Benque really does a lot during Holy Week, and this year was no exception.  On Good Friday, they had their annual Sawdust Art Project.  The Benque House of Culture got some good pictures of the event, once again with some help from Elvis Avila.
