Holy Week in Seville

Semana Santa de Sevilla, Passion of Christ in Seville, Holy Week in Seville
Spain, Seville
Holy Week in Seville, namely the week of fasting before the celebration of Easter, is a significant and special spectacle. The Seville Holy Week is notable for its scale and "passion", which has earned it international fame. At this time, mass religious processions take place several times a day. Each of the 50 religious brotherhoods in Seville has its own Holy Week schedule. During the procession, members of the brotherhoods in special attire carry pasos - sculptural images of saints or compositions on religious subjects. The course of the procession can last from 8 hours to the whole day, and on the night of the suffering of Christ on the cross, from Thursday to Friday, the processions run all night. The most impressive processions are held on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Saturday.

If you want to understand and feel Seville, be sure to come during Holy Week to Seville. Holy Week is the week preceding Easter, the time of church holidays in Spain. Throughout Spain, many religious processions take place daily, passing routes from the church to the Cathedral and back. The brotherhood of each church organizes a procession of church members. In 2015.70 processions took place in Seville. The path of the processions is outlined in advance and there is a schedule. At first I couldn't find it, but I saw all the Spaniards have a book with a timetable.
