Easter Week 2017

Traditions come out this week.
There are long processions through the streets with pasos - religious floats and sculptures. Religious statues are carried along on the shoulders of the cofrades, members of the cofradías or lay brotherhoods that organize the processions. These are accompanied by penitentes and nazarenos generally wearing long hooded robes. (From Collins definitions)

There is a Good Friday procession held here between two of the large Catholic churches downtown.
