This gorgeous flower carpet in Guatemala just set a Guinness World Record

A new Guinness World record was set in Guatemala City this week when municipal employees and volunteers came together to make a 6,061-foot-long carpet of flowers and sawdust. The previous record was 4,593 feet long. 

These carpets are traditionally made during Holy Week — the week before Easter — each year. 

Behold their beautiful creation.
