Video of a Very Mexican Holy Saturday Vigil: Merida, Yucatan
Cristo Resucitado (Resurrected Christ), Merida MX
Cristo Resucitado (Resurrected Christ), Merida MX
The biblical narrative does not have much to say about what went on inside of Jesus' tomb; by the next morning he simply reappears in his resurrected state,. In Latin America, much is made over the transition of Jesus from death to resurrected life and there is often a service late Holy Saturday night that celebrates this event. Here is a link to a video of one such service. It was shot in Merida MX and what happens in the vigil service will surprise you as much as it did me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMzCIxbLHWA
