It's always nice to have the house back to ourselves but sad to see the girls go. We miss their laughter and their company. Still they will come again soon.
We visited two of the processions; The Viernes Santa one in Orihuela and the Encuentro in Bigastro. You can see my pictures of these and the Palm Sunday procession by clicking on this link.
No procession would be complete without tambores
or a legion of Romans
some of the Cofradias numbered hundreds of members
At 7:15am on the day of resurrection, these young children lead the procession of Jesus
At the encounter Mary's widow's mantle was removed.
This was accompanied by a shower of white confetti and the release of white doves
which signaled a spectacular display of fireworks.
Mary was returned to the church
followed by Jesus.
