Semana Santa processions Seville 2012 evidence

Posted: Apr 11, 2012

Had a beautiful experience in Seville last week/end for the Easter processions. Such a powerful, emotional tradition! Paradox of reaching beyond but firmly rooted in the terrestrial. Although this is clearly in the public much time is spent chasing down the processions (or crossing the processions) on small side streets. Thanks to Patricia Terry for the guidance.

Here are the processions we witnessed:

Friday Midnight to 1400

El Silencio
El Grand Poder (entering church at dawn)
La Macarena
La Espera...
