The popular festivity of “El Día de la Flores” (Day of the Flowers) has its origins as part of the celebration of “Viernes de Dolores” (Friday of sorrows). On this date the people set up altars in honor of the Virgin Mary of Sorrows.
These are little pots of wheat grass were sown two weeks previously, they signify that Jesus and Mary don't want us to be hungry.
This is the fountain in Plaza Mexiamora, the little plaza just below Casa Bertha. It was being renovated when I arrived and after a few weeks, for the first time since I've been coming here, water actually flowed. It flowed (dribbled) for a few hours and that was it. It didn't flow again while I was there.
