Here is a photo of the typical attire seen at these processions!
...a little scary if you didn't know what it was in aid of.
Semana Santa in a BIG deal in Spain, the processions go on all week typically consisting of the town or village population, a full brass and percussion band, folk dressed like the picture below and of course huge shrines to mary and jesus walked through the village by 20-50 men for the hours that it takes to do their route. Sometimes we would still hear the band outside our house at 2.30 in the morning!
