They do some amazing things for Holy Week here. Some of the festivities were cancelled by the Catholic Church because of covid, but some of the traditions lived on. One of the most famous is the tradition of creating beautiful &ldquo;carpets&rdquo; out of colored sawdust.</p> <p>The artists work through the night to create these works of art that don&rsquo;t even last through the day.</p>
