Semana Santa And Andalucia

Semana Santa and holy week ok going to go ahead and start explaining Catholics in Andalucia right now. Spain is very Catholic, i am fairly religous and Catholic as well but i thought these people would out do me... i was very wrong, Spaniards do not do much about being catholic until Semana Santa. And then they become some of the most religous people in the world.

Semana santa is the week before Easter, and it is a way of remembering what Jesus went through in the days leading up to his death, kind of like seeing part of the Passion of Christ being played out bit by bit every day for a week.

so yea also those wonderful kkk outfits? they were stolen from the people that walk during semana santa.... so go ahead and throw an american in the mix walking through the streets and BAM there they are! so i have pictures, of everything.

then there are pasos, huge floats with religious figures, usually one with jesus and one with the virgin. I have pictures once mojo allows me to post pictures i will!

Manu led me around the last few days of it, i met his whole family more or less, and took pictures of it all. i was alittle bit of an attraction because it was my first Semana Santa and the family was dead set on making sure it was very memorable, they pushed me to the front to get pictures, explained as much as possible, and the kids who were learning english would translate if i didn't understand one of the words.
