As our bus passed this church in Yucay, a small town in the Sacred Valley, we saw the gaily decorated donkey. And then a procession, accompanied by blaring trumpets, emerged from the church carrying offerings for a successful corn harvest - a mix of local traditions with Catholicism that's typical in Peru. We learned later that a big tree branch fell on the procession when it reached the town square, killing one of the participants.
