Carpet of Guatemala City on Good Friday 2024

The final point of the City Carpet is in front of the Bellas Artes Theater, while the procession route continues.
Design, art and creativity
During this Good Friday, as usual, moments full of joy were present on the part of the participants, because although they were working under the sun they knew that they were fulfilling a very important task by using their hands to shape the design of the carpet. .
During the tour that we were able to take, we found a diversity of designs, styles and colors that families and groups of friends used for the carpet section that they were in charge of.
In some sections, some sponsoring companies placed their own designs and personnel who work there were the ones who made their carpet section, while in other parts, some institutions, including the Guatemalan Army, as well as the Scout Group 80 BP of Zone 8 of the capital.
The organization in charge of the Municipality of Guatemala provided the elements and tools to make the rug, as well as the volunteer kit that included a commemorative volunteer t-shirt and spare parts, as well as hydration when requested.
How did volunteers sign up?
As in other years, the call was launched by Municipality of Guatemalain which each group, person or family was registered through an online form, from there, they were called and through an email they confirmed to the participants which awning they should arrive at to receive the materials and the kit as a volunteer.
Without a doubt, it was a day with a lot of work, enthusiasm and dedication on the part of each of the volunteers who supported the making of the carpet, each one contributed with their part among the many activities that had to be covered, such as , sprinkle water with the pumps to keep the sawdust in place and prevent it from drying out. When the sawdust dries, it loses weight and is easily carried by the wind to another place where it does not fulfill its decorative function in the assembled piece.
