Neighbors of Ajijic’s Tecoluta and San Sebastián barrios picked up where they left off before the Covid-19 pandemic, reinstating the Day of the Holy Cross
custom of setting up colorful doorstep altars laden with pantry goods that are free for the taking to anyone willing to replace the offerings one year hence. The May 3 holiday was also a day of festivity for local construction workers who enjoyed time off from their labors to feast and blast off incessant rounds of sky rockets as a sign of religious devotion.
