Beacon of AN Rooftop Ceremony Part One

On April 21st, we held a simple, but deeply touching, ceremony at the Heart of AN to put the Beacon of AN and two toros from Pucara on top of the roof of our house.

 

Walter and Julie arrive with the flowers for our ceremony.

Carlos carries more flowers onto the tower roof.

We just found out that he’s scared of heights, but said that he couldn’t resist going up there.

The Beacon of AN and toros are cemented onto the roof with much love and respect

by Victor and Aurelio, then decorated with flowers.

Flowers are placed in a circle on the roof around the Beacon of AN, like rays of a Sun.
