Cross-training
25 February 2007
José Emanuel Guillén Roldán, a 22-year old accounting and management student is in training. Guillén has been bulking up, lifing weights and running… and is now fasing… all in preparation to be castigated, spat upon and scourged as he climbs Cerro de la Estrella … where he’ll be crucified.
Having worked his way up through the supporting cast, from a leper to a Hebrew to the Apostle Thomas, Guillén beat out 15 other hopeful in gaining the starring role in this year’s 164-year old Iztapalapa Semana Santa religious pagent.
An estimated 1,000,000 people come to Iztapalapa on Good Friday to witness the event.
