Holy Wednesday, Nandaime, Nicaragua

On Wednesday of Holy Week in Nandaime, a small town outside of Granada Nicaragua, an ancient Lenten penitential ritual is, more or less, stood on its head and turned into a half-hour of fun, controlled chaos.  It begins and ends with the sounding of church bells and despite appearances, is a religious event. Experience this lively and fascinating celebration in my video:  https://youtu.be/w2K-8g2M54A
