The center point of Artica every year is the tall wooden effigy known as Our Lady of Artica. The design is always similar. It takes a lot of engineering and carpentry skill to design and erect. When we arrived Saturday afternoon it was lying flat on its back, the head not yet attached. The top picture shows it being hoisted into place, a cable hooked to its chest and the other end on the tow hitch of a Jeep.
The second picture is late Sunday afternoon. When it is fully dark, a crew in fireproof suits puts the torch to it and the crowd goes wild. We will get to that.
