Penitence in Quito

It's Easter and I'm reminded of one of the most interesting Good Fridays I have had, in Quito, watching the traditional parade of penitents. It is an extraordinary sight that would be very easy to belittle or misunderstand. This extract from The Nine Horizons is one of two pieces in the book that arose from a long journey to Ecuador, which I still believe to have been one of the most interesting and beautiful countries I have visited.
