Corpus Christi en el Cusco

Overview

It is a masterpiece of Cusco's popular creativity, where the saints come to life. The Corpus Christi celebration in June is a solstice festival, coinciding with a ceremonial time in the Andes. Just as in the Inca past the ancient mummies were carried in procession, today the images of saints and virgins serve as emblems of current social groups.
