The town of Patzún, located 47,5 kilometres west of Antigua, recently held their Corpus Christi celebrations, a Catholic observance commemorating the reality of the body and blood of Christ during the Eucharist. After the third mass of the day at 11am, a procession took off from the church. Unlike the ones during Semana Santa, this processional march doesn’t include a float. Instead, they carry a large piece of silver called “Custodio”, which holds a communion wafer representing the body of Christ.
