Blessing of the Cars


Thursday 29 March 2008
In the town of Copacabana, Bolivia, on the shore of Lake Titicaca, they have a rather curious tradition. Every day at a certain time, a priest will come out and bless any cars in front of the church. They've usually been decorated up with flowers and ribbons, as in the picture, and people also bring champagne and beer to pour over the cars after they've been sprinkled with holy water.
