HOLY WEEK IN SAN MIGUEL DE ALLENDE MEXICO (SEMANA SANTA)

[@EileenAldis]

Do you participate in any Semana Santa traditions like this?

[@luyzqint3760]

Eileen Aldis Beautiful video. Again, thanks for sharing. I'm not a religious person, but I can appreciate these kind of traditions. You two did a beautiful job with this video, including the drone shots. Love and peace!.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much - that means a lot as we worked really hard on this video. I'm grateful to have been in San Miguel as this event unfolded.

[@socratescarrasco2705]

Yo tampoco soy religioso pero el sincretismo mexicano es maravilloso.Se que hay cosas negativas en mi pais pero tambien hay cosas buenas.Gracias por apreciar a mi pais.

[@tempcookie]

I remember traveling to Antigua Guatemala for Semana Santa when I was I kid, they have the most amazing setting for this. I've been living in Canada for over 30 years now it would be nice to get my kids to experience.

[@nancyjohnson9247]

Thank you for this beautiful tribute to the people and their faith in action for centuries. Perfect as we approach Easter.

[@EileenAldis]

We were grateful that our time in San Miguel de Allende coincided with this historic and beautiful event. Thanks for watching!

[@marionjohnson5508]

Loved this one! I was very moved by the ceremony. It's so good to see something positive about Mexico, not just the bad news on the media.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! As you saw, I was quite overcome by it. I feel lucky to have experienced such an incredible community event.

[@corrosyon]

You never gonna see good news and the good things about México in your country, just bad news.

[@josephinemarino389]

I'm catholic and wish we had their sense of tradition and community. So beautiful. Ty

[@EileenAldis]

It's a beautiful experience I'll always cherish.

[@valeriacalderon7565]

you melted my heart

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you, Valeria! I was so moved by the incredible experience and feel lucky to have been there for it :)

[@angel-sn6ew]

Valeria Calderon i loved the video as well

[@martincito1662]

Be honest to your self... We are "religious" with ceremonies, festivities, celebrations and all of that. In practice, we are sinful as fuck LOL

[@ThePsico222]

Martincito estas generalizando. Que tu seas así no quiere decir que todos

[@martincito1662]

Totally agree galleta de jengibre. What good has religion brought to Mexico????

[@acevesfelipe_sma]

Con este excelente video, no puedo dejar de admirar y apreciar las tradiciones sanmiguelenses, felicitaciones para los autores!!!!!

[@EileenAldis]

muchas gracias! feliz de escuchar que

[@beltfed1]

That was beautiful. …So much more than a mere travelogue… This offered true insight. It was photojournalism in the style of National Geographic… But raised to an aesthetic construct. The photography, editing and music were a symphony…And Eileen offers her sincerity for all to see. I truly hope two you gather a wide following…You have raised the bar here. Thank you.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! We worked hard to try and capture the beauty of this historic tradition. It was amazing to see the community come together and I'll never forget it!

[@HereBeBarr]

Very informative and so well edited. Seems like you guys picked the perfect week to be in San Miguel !! I will visit there one day.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! We worked really hard and feel so lucky to have been here to see it. It's certainly worth a trip to see!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! We worked really hard and feel so lucky to have been here to see it. It's certainly worth a trip to see!

[@alejandramoreno3453]

yo vivo aquí en San Miguel de Allende q bueno que lo visitan😌

[@EileenAldis]

Hola Alejandra! Gracias! You live in such a beautiful place :) I just made another video about San Miguel de Allende today! So happy I got to visit there.

[@fernandosoto5824]

I'm so moved, your reaction to Antonio's words was unexpected for me, I think is not common to see a foreigner that open not just the eyes but mind and soul to understand the tradition and the way we feel about Holy Week and what is so amazing is that you were able to capture it in a video of just 8 minutes, wonderful edition I have to say . In my way to understand traveling that is the right attitude (open eyes, mind and soul) that lead you to new experiences that help you to grow as person and that let you understand how different and diverse is this world were we are living, congratulations to Antonio for that beautiful explanation and congratulations to you for this video because is so hard to transmit a feeling and I think you did or at least that is what I felt watching it. :)

[@WAYAWAYWithAsh]

Dang we just missed:( Amazing video guys.I love that I could see it through your eyes. -Ash

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! We feel really lucky to have been here when it happened. It was amazing :)

[@sheelg2667]

Wow.. such a beautiful heartfelt tradition, and an incredible job with this video. thank you so much for showing this very beautiful side of Mexico, and it's beautiful people.

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! It's an incredibly moving event that we felt so grateful to experience.

[@RottenRonnies]

Absolutley amazing.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks, Ron! We worked really hard on this video and are so happy to have been there.

[@clubdefrancais6934]

We are here this year and feel the same awe and amazement. It is a surreal experience.

[@toobydude41]

One thumbs up from me is not enough! i still have chills, some 10 minutes after watching this. Absolutely beautiful. Those aerial shots...wow. I tell you, I've sure had quite a sweet introduction to your channel. And by the way, it's nice to e-meet you too!

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks so much, Scott! A lot of hard work went into making this and it means a lot to know how much you enjoyed it. As you saw, I was quite overcome by the whole experience and hearing what it meant to Antonio. I just feel grateful to have been there when it happened :)

[@Martin-ve2cc]

[@CogitoErgoSumFortis]

Thank you Eileen, thank you for showing the goodness in people, the beauty in our traditions and for showing a side that sometimes even some of us Mexicans forget, or some even decide to ignore. I love my country, I know how much it has to offer and how kind and dedicated our people can be so, thank you Eileen. Please don't stop.

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Jesus! Thank you for your comments :) I love Mexico and feel grateful for the time I've got to spend seeing new places and meeting people. I'm extra lucky to have been in San Miguel de Allende during this special time and I'll never forget it.

[@RottenRonnies]

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! I'm so happy you enjoyed it and thank you for watching! :)

[@CheerstoTravels]

Gracias! That is very kind of you to offer but unfortunately I'm not in San Miguel anymore - I'm in Guanajuato. I'm sorry it didn't work out - it would've been good to meet up!

[@jesusgutierrez6349]

Thanks for the beautiful video of San Miguel de Allende. What was the material of the figures of Jesus?Was it made professionally? I don't believe regular people made it.

[@johngarvin1469]

Thank YOU!

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you for watching, John!

[@Comentanda]

[@BabyBidoll87]

Antonio was my teacher!!! Great person!!!

[@EileenAldis]

Really?! That's amazing!! What did/does he teach? He was incredibly kind and I will never forget meeting him. If you ever see him please give him my very best! ❤️

[@Fernando-yb1lh]

Do the different temples in San Miguel have their own procession or is it one for the entire city?

[@borimex5844]

Loved the video. One question, where exactly did this occur in San Miguel de Allende?

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you! Unfortunately, I’m not sure how to best describe the exact location but maybe someone here will know…

[@meninonet]

Very good video indeed! a good example of how strong is catholic religion part of our country since the spaniards arrived here several centuries ago, all this began before Canada and the US were colonised by the British.

[@EileenAldis]

It was a very special experience for me! Glad I was in SMA when it took place!

[@ginafriend1690]

❤️🙏❤️

[@Mr2pockets]

Hi Eileen, I'm traveling to San Miguel de Allende for the first part of holy week this year, and spending the second half in Guanajuato City. This procession looks amazing, do you know the name of this? or have a link to it? I want to see if we'll be able to catch it while we're there. Thank you! -Joe

[@ictiosmetal]

Cute!

[@EileenAldis]

thanks for watching!

[@caquin38]

hola me permites usar unas tomas de tu video me enamore de el y me gustaria agregar unos fracmentos en el

[@daveduardog333gmalcom5]

The best celebration of semana santa in mexico is in Zacatecas ,Taxco y San Luis Potosi. In mi personal opinion.

[@EileenAldis]

Thanks for telling me! Those are all places I'd love to visit and I'm sure being there for Semana Santa celebrations would be extra special.

[@josesantana3739]

My beautiful city i would like to be back and stay 😭😭

[@moreconfetti]

what day of holy week was this?

[@EileenAldis]

Hi Emma, Sorry - I'm not sure which day it was.

[@ItsAFrapp]

Wow. Loved your video. You did your homework trying to learn as much as possible and video quality 10/10. You have a new subscriber​. He was wrong, though. Church=Iglesia is in fact the translation of what he wanted to say, and not temple, as he mistakenly said. The church is "the body of God" which means, the people. The temple is the vessel, which is the place of adoration (the building). (Source: the Bible)

[@EileenAldis]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support of my channel and am glad you enjoyed watching the video :) It's quite possible that I mixed up the words with either my poor Spanish or when recounting what he said because I was so overcome! Either way, I understood his meaning and was very moved by it and the whole event. Thanks again for watching and subscribing!

[@montoyagerardo]

Where are you from?

[@EileenAldis]

I'm from Canada.

[@sergiomparedes196]

Eileen Aldis que viva Canadá! !!

[@roytec32]

Im in love with you !!

[@EileenAldis]

:)

[@martincito1662]

You have to visit Ouro Preto, Brazil during Holly Week and of course Sevilla.

[@dukemm4180]

you should come to the day of death and las posadas

[@EileenAldis]

I'd love to experience those events in Mexico.

[@richardbrown8905]

Gastronata...the Temple is the individual dwelling place of God within the true sons of God. The building is only where we all gather to worship. The Church is the people...the true sons of God. Peace be with you.
