# Puebla on Good Friday - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/ - Published: 2017-10-16T07:21:53-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout It’s the commencement of Christ’s death at Calvary as I arrive in [Puebla](https://www.visitmexico.com/en/main-destinations/puebla). The colorful buildings in town overshadow the beggars and the blind, saints and sinners all lining the streets below. ⌊IMG_9280⌉ The colonial architecture has a soothing allure, making one feel safe and secure in this Mexican State. We wander along the cobbled streets, listening to the buzz of activity during Holy week. ⌊ IMG_9259⌉ We find a place to eat that is hidden away from the bustling activity outside, a peaceful veranda that lets us relax for a spell and fill our bellies with delicious food. I go for the mole, of which I’m usually not a fan, but it comes highly recommended. The only downside is that I misjudge the chicken as I’m cutting myself a piece, and splatter black mole sauce all over my green t-shirt. I laugh though, as no one here cares, they are more focused on saving their souls for eternity. ⌊IMG_9273⌉ Back outside, we find a ceramic shop that makes the world famous [talavera](https://www.eatlivetravelwrite.com/2012/07/talavera-ceramics-in-puebla-mexico/). It is a unique place and to watch them make the ceramics from the beginning of the process to the final stage is a true wonder of dedication to the craft. ⌊IMG_9263⌉ We reach the Zocalo, home of the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. ⌊IMG_9309⌉ Surrounded by devote followers of the Catholic faith, I hold the hands of strangers as we worship inside, pray for our souls and the less fortunate, and ask for peace in this beautiful world. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Puebla%20on%20Good%20Friday&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fpuebla-on-good-friday%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/puebla-on-good-friday/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
