The Slideshow Prelude

Just to prelude the slide show with some recent information that I had learned from a friend of mine. As you look upon these pictures you will see the participant wearing pointy hats which bear distasteful connotations due to our American History. These head coverings are called 'capirotes' and should lead no one to worry as these capirotes have been worn throughout Spanish history in their Easter processions. These hats along with their height and cone shape represent the place of our salvation: heaven. The different colors of these capirotes and the vestments of the nazarenos (those who process) denote the different brotherhoods (comprised of men women and children) who join in this cultural exercise of honoring Our Lord and Our Lady during the liturgical time of Holy Week. Enjoy the show...
