Holy week is here! This Sunday is Palm Sunday, and the beginning of a great time in Seville. Here is the unofficial largest display of Holy Week. 500,000 more people are piling into the city. Today, there were tourists everywhere!
Eahc borough and cathedral of the city has their own float like display of the Virgin Mary, The Passion, or Jesus. They head to the center of town where the concentration of people are. There are a total of 59 processions, some with thousands of people. There is some more information on it, just click on the picture.
This week should be a fun one. My family is coming into town too.
Oh, I forgot the best part. The Nazarenes are the people that follow the floats. They are soldiers for Christ, but the thing is that they are dressed in white cloaks and pointed hats. It has nothing to do with the clan, but it is still a little scary seeing it everywhere now.
