Easter week is celebrated in Spain with week long processions and manifestations of faith! Already known for its festivities and holidays, Spain's way to celebrate is particularly interesting. People dress up in costumes that are supposed to represent the Nazareth people. They wear hoods that are cone shaped and drape a cloth in front of their faces to keep anonymity. Different fellowships will have different colored cloth and varying details in their costumes.
During these processions, statues or floats are carried and on the day of Easter Sunday, bells are heard throughout the cities in Spain. Spaniards celebrate Easter as a religious holiday. However,once again, it's a great time to be visiting Spain, to experience first-hand their traditions and festivals. Celebrating in Spain is unlike celebrating anywhere else in the world!
