Home > XXX > Semana Santa Processions

Beginning of the Madrid Procession - Cristo de la Fe y Del Perdon	A Nazareno	Nazarenos	Nazarenos	Once the Jesus float arrived, this woman came out on the balcony of City Hall and sang the "saeta". Her voice filled the whole square and it was amazing to hear the crowd go silent.
	The Paso - Cristo de la Fe y del Perdon	The Paso - Maria Santisima Inmaculada Madre de la Iglesia	The singer came to sing again in from of the Mary float
	Marching bands play to keep time as the men carry the float	Arriving at the Sevilla train station, we saw this family (with their child as a Nazareno) heading to a procession.	Nazarenos - in this procession, they are all in white	The Mary Paso in the first procession we saw in Seville (right in front of our hotel)
		One of the more complicated floats we saw (too bad the picture is so dark). You can see Jesus on the right with people on the left holding up offerings to him and Mary in the middle (with the gold halo)	Nazarenos holding up the seal of their brotherhood
Pontius Pilate is depicted on this float.	These were the first nazarenos we saw carrying crosses.	We saw a lot of Marys	AppleMark
	Procession in Granada	Notice the light from flares in the background. As the floats passed buy, people lit flares & fireworks to light the way.
