Easter in Mompox

The sleeping and precious Mompox wakes up once a year. Since before 1643, during holy week the town is transformed. Today Momposina Easter is one of the most colorful and impressive days in Colombia, bringing hundreds of visitors. Clinging to the old traditions and memories of the splendor that the town had for three centuries, momposinos give everything of themselves and show a religious fervor and poignant devotion. I was lucky enough to be in Mompox few weeks ago, when the people were showing the processions from Holy Week 2010.
