El Día de la Independencia



September 15 is celebrated throughout Central America as El Día de la Independencia, the day of independence from Spain. Here in Chimaltenango our parade began around 9 and lasted for almost 2 hours. It was a beautiful display of patriotism and national pride.













It was enjoyed by young and old alike.




Families and workers enjoyed the view.




But how could these feet endure the 3 mile walk?!



A reminder to all that true independence comes only in Christ and our salvation in Him.
