This set shows a "procesión": it is an ancient tradition associated with the Catholic Church. Held at Easter, consists in a parade of penitents who cover their faces and heads to remain anonymous. Historically, many of them were barefoot or dragged chains, less at today but yet still carrying heavy crosses or large platforms with sacred images. The procesion is celebrated on the night of Good Friday and aims to demonstrate the grief over the death of Jesus Christ.

Fascinating shots, what are the masks for?? DancingDolphin · 2012-07-29: 19:17

Les jeux d'ombre et de lumière sont splendides et donnent un côté mystérieux et un peu inquiétant ! Magnifique séie Lluis josy63 · 2012-07-30: 00:47
