Carriage of Mother Earth, Goddess of Fertility
Carts and coaches also formed part of the processions for fertility. Those carriages went around the countryside to assure good harvests which in turn brought peace.The symbol of fertility and peace, Mother Earth, also formed part of the entities on which the people depended for a prosperous and happy life.
We find a reflection of this antique deity in our lovely carnival Queens on their beautifully decorated carriages lighting up the 'Gran Marcha' (The Great March) on Carnival Sunday.
