Easter time again

Easter in Spain Easter time again! And in Spain it is always something special. It doesn’t really matter that I am not religious, I still enjoy looking at all the processions and shenanigans surrounding the celebration of Easter.

I am hoping to get some photos of our local set-up for you all to have a look at, but here is one I found on the internet. All the brotherhoods (Nazarenos) always were these (for me) really scary hoods that always remind me of the Ku Klux Klan. I guess if you are brought up in Spain you don’t get the same associations at all, it will be a normal Easter thing and you know that under that hood is your dad, neighbour, teacher etc. ( actually, looking at what I have just written, that is exactly the same as with the Ku Klux Klan - it was quite likely your neighbour, dad and teacher hiding under those hoods in its hey day…)

I think most people will think of scary klan people!

Here are some more pictures of Nazarenos in their different coloured robes. I have no idea what different brotherhoods they belong to or more about what the defines the different Nazarenos. But at least I got you some photos to look at ;)
