Easter week always starts with pastries called Bocconotti.

Flowers brought by locals for mass on Holy Thursday.

Special bread that is shaped like a cross is given out during mass.

Easter Procession in Nocera Terinese with their beloved Madonna.

Because of the heavy weight of the Madonna and Jesus statue, it takes a group of men to carry it.

Easter donations.

School band during procession. Obviously on break (pausa).

These men carry the statue up & down hills, around turns and on the streets of Nocera Terinese all day long.

How great is it to be able to just nap in a hammock?   I snapped this photo in the midst of the all the craziness at the market in Iquitos, Peru. The baby didn’t seem to mind at all.  Mom is working and the baby is blissfully sleeping.
