“Did you know that Antigua wasn’t always Guatemala’s capital?” I ask, pausing as we reach a small, ornate shrine, the 4a Estación. “In the 18th century, this entire city was practically abandoned. A devastating earthquake in 1773 led the Spanish to move their capital to what is now Guatemala City.” The 4a Estación, I explain, is more than just a pretty landmark. It represents a station on the traditional Good Friday processions, a tradition deeply ingrained in Antigua’s cultural fabric. Each station depicts scenes from Christ’s journey to his crucifixion. The inscription on this one, ‘Jesus Finds His Most Holy Mother,’ is a poignant reminder of the city’s own resilience. Rebuilt from the ruins, Antigua, much like its faith, persevered.
