Easter procession in Cuenca where they commemorate the death of Jesus Christ with members of different brotherhoods dressed in their distinctive robes, parading the streets carrying religious statues to the sound of drums and music.
Today is Easter Sunday - Domingo de la Resurrección / Procession of the resurrected Jesus
The Crowd
Holy week in Madrid where processions take the streets. It was still raining earlier on but surprisingly the sky cleared as the procession began…
I read that the wearing of hood was to signify the mourning of the death of Jesus Christ.
Mary the Virgin carried on huge heavy altar. Despite having to carry this float for hours, to these men, it was great honour. 
Tomorrow I shall experience a slightly different procession (if I’m lucky) in another city (Cuenca) which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
