Holy Week Processions


In Andalucia, in spring, there is a popular celebration, with five centuries of history, the Holy Week Processions.

In this religious celebration, brotherhoods take part in processions that parade the streets of cities. The cortege is composed by two Nazarenes sections with people in robes and hoods, and two thrones where images represent moments of Christ's passion and death.

This year I have seen many processions and have taken part as a "penitent" in the "Sacred Diner". I have also gone to many confimations.
