The Flowering Cross: Holy Week in an Andean Village

Saturday, February 25, 2012 - Sunday, April 15, 2012
12:00PM - 5:00PM

Photographer Robert Lisak and Jaime Lara, Ph.D., a specialist in the art, architecture, and liturgy of Spanish-speaking colonial cultures, visited the town of San Pedro Andahuaylillas, Peru, during Holy Week 2008 to chronicle the rituals and celebration that take place at the "Sistine Chapel of the Americas," a 17th century Jesuit church. Lisak's photographs depict the religious customs of the Andahuaylillashas, who have maintained aspects of the medieval and Tridentine piety that were once typical of all of Latin America. These rituals are most evident during Holy Week when the old practices, piety, and music come to the fore.
