Laura and the .... what is that?!

This is a very common sight in Peru.  There are so many masks everywhere and for everything. They use to make me quite uncomfortable, but now makes me sad.  Most of these masks are used for "religious"  purposes.  This man is wearing the condor, which in ancient Incan civilizations, was the god of the heavens.  The condor is still worshipped by some, as well as other animals.  Everytime I see one, it reinforces to me the need for Christ here.  This country is plagued by traditionalism.  Some traditions are good, but others just keep people clouded from the truth.
