Cruces de Porcon
Location: Porcón (Cajamarca)
Date: 2nd half of March-1st week of April
Weaving through the early mists that still shroud the
highlands just before dawn, an impressive procession of
huge, colorful wooden crosses progresses down the valley
of Porcón to celebrate the triumphal entry of Christ
into Jerusalem.
Unlike other Easter Week celebrations, the one in this
fun-loving village located half an hour by road from the
city of Cajamarca does not dwell on the death of Christ.
On the main day of the festival, Palm Sunday, four
different ceremonies are held: the crowning of the
crosses, the greeting of the Lord at the home of the
mayordomo (the person in charge of organizing the
festivities), the various responses sung in Quechua and
Latin, and finally the procession to the plantation
chapel.
The crosses are decorated with round and oval-shaped
mirrors symbolizing the souls of the dead, as well as
figures representing the Virgin Mary, the Heart of Jesus
and a wealth of symmetrically placed patron saints
forming a huge rhomboid. The locals hang metal bells
from the corners to announce the arrival of the crosses
to the community. During the imposing procession of the
crosses, angels dressed out in turquoise, yellow and
pink, stride ahead, hanging onto the señorca, the donkey
carrying the Lord of the Palms |
