We have the same tradition down here in Brazil, we call it Sexta-feira Santa and this year I played the role of the bad thief for approximately 15,000 people, most of them crying and holding candles in the night. It was amazing!<BR/>Thanks and congrats,<BR/>Luciano FigueiredoLUCIANO FIGUEIREDOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09562390355069331270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-45564795318820553412008-03-25T10:25:00.000-06:002008-03-25T10:25:00.000-06:00I love the crucifixion painting, absolutely amazin...I love the crucifixion painting, absolutely amazing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375615378259386972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-63825453104939579892008-03-24T21:21:00.000-06:002008-03-24T21:21:00.000-06:00Thanks Frank A.

Mexicans do have a religiuos fervor and love for ceremony. They just switched gods. <BR/>I did know a few people involved in this. I also had a friend who was a carpenter. He wanted to travel to the place that they actually nailed you to the cross so he could be Jesus. He would have ruined his hands and skill as a carpenter. He was talked out of it.<BR/><BR/>I could not resist doing a few paintings of this Ed.<BR/>Thanks for your comments.Frank Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011564146411771531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398982987918743636.post-24449185480554255982008-03-23T17:53:00.000-06:002008-03-23T17:53:00.000-06:00Wow, amazing spectacle.
