Procession of the Virgin of Guadalupe
I did this last year, too, for those who remember. My host family is involved in a procession for 12 days in honor of the Virgin Mary of Guadalupe. I love getting to see inside different Antigua houses and try traditional Christmas foods.

Burning of the Devil

| There are 2 gas stations in Antigua. They are both in the same plaza near the exit of town. This is where they decide to hold the Burning of the devil statue. |

| We missed it! Since when do things happen on time here?!?! |
