Corpus Christi in Gondomar and Ponteareas

See link for info on the Catholic feast. We visited two towns, Gondomar and Ponteareas. During this festivity, children celebrate their First Communion. The stars of this event though are beautiful 'flower rugs', these are made of flowers and incorporate religious motifs. People walk around the town admiring the beautiful and creative designs. The procession party also walks around the town, but on the rugs. They last less than a day...
