Semana Santa: holy week before easter. Virgin mary on a parade float with burning candle infront of her.
Holy Week processions in Spain are a unique and moving experience. They are a display of religious faith and tradition that is deeply ingrained in Spanish culture.\n\nThe processions typically take place in the evening and can last for several hours. They involve a large number of people, including members of religious brotherhoods, musicians, and spectators.\n\nThe most important elements of the processions are the pasos, which are floats that carry statues of Christ, the Virgin Mary, and other religious figures. The pasos are often decorated with candles, flowers, and other ornaments.\n\nThe processions are accompanied by music, which is often played by brass bands. The music is typically slow and solemn, and it creates a somber and reflective atmosphere.\n\nThe participants in the processions wear traditional clothing, such as long robes and pointed hoods. The hoods are often used to conceal the identity of the penitents, who may be doing penance for their sins.\n\nThe processions are a public display of faith, and they are often very emotional events. For many Spaniards, they are a way to connect with their religious heritage and to express their devotion to God.\n\nIf you are planning to visit Spain during Holy Week, I highly recommend that you attend a procession. It is an experience that you will never forget.
