Summary

[edit]
Description
Español: En el marco de la "Semana Santa", en la ciudad de Oaxaca, durante el "Viernes Santo" se recuerda la muerte de Jesús. Las calles céntricas de la ciudad se abarrotan de gente para ser participes de la "Procesión del Silencio", una marcha silenciosa respetuosa con aire religioso y místico. Algunas mujeres, durante la procesión, demuestran su luto vestidas de negro y rebozos cubriendo su cabeza. La mujer sostiene un refractario que contien resina de copal, que al colocar un carbón al rojo vivo, provoca humo y desprende un olor en particular. El uso de la resina de copal es de uso ritual para limpiar y purificar.
English: Within the framework of "Holy Week", in the city of Oaxaca, during the "Good Friday" the death of Jesus is remembered. The central streets of the city are packed with people to be participants in the "Procession of Silence", a respectful silent march with religious and mystical air. Some women, during the procession, demonstrate their mourning dressed in black and shawls covering their heads. The woman holds a refractory that contains copal resin, which when placing a coal on fire, causes smoke and gives off a particular smell. The use of copal resin is for ritual use to cleanse and purify.
