Holy Tuesday procession celebrated in Ecuador

Ecuadorian Catholic faithful took part in the traditional procession of Holy Tuesday in the Puéllaro town, as part of the Easter celebrations. Men carried twelve large altars on their shoulders as they walked through the stone-cobbled streets of the village.

They walked at the same pace to carry the nearly 2,000-pound altars, parading the imagery for nearly ten blocks, resting every 10 meters.
