Virgen de Suyapa

Today we celebrated the patron saint of Honduras, the Virgen de Suyapa.

The day started out with a 6:30 procession through the ranch, followed by an early morning mass.

The most interesting part? The firecrackers! This country loves firecrackers. Any time of the day!

Unfortunately, this meant firecrackers started around 5:15 this morning to celebrate Suyapa. I briefly thought we were under attack when the first one woke me up.

They pretty much continued straight through the morning. Including an especially loud round to wrap up mass. This was new to me.
