Unlike in most European countries, in Spain, Holy Week is one of the most important and passionate festivities in Spain.
It is characterized by the large number of processions held in the streets. Each procession is organized by a county or brotherhood, which represents an image of Christ or the Virgin. The cofrades wear tunics with cape and carry the image on their shoulders, while they travel the streets of the city at the rhythm of music. This celebration has its origins in the Middle Ages, and was consolidated with the passage of time in different regions of Spain, to become one of the most important festivities in the country.
The Holy Week is celebrated every year beginning with the Sunday of the Rams and ends with the Resurrection of the Lord and begins the Easter. During the next week, the Spanish cities and villages are filled with processions, music, art and tradition, and it is a very special time for the Spaniards, who prepare to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
