- This was the only procession I
was able to shoot this year during Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Madrid
- because I went away for most of
the time to get some much neede relaxing done. Next yeqar I will
- be in Madrid for the entire
week and promise to bring EVERYTHING to these pages.
- The procession that you see here took place on
"Domingo de Ramos" and the perspective is from
- the
Plaza
de la Villa. The procession is
oficially titled "Jesús de la Fey y del Perdón" (Jesus
of Faith
- and Forgiveness). Although the
Mayor of Madrid (Alvaro de Manzano) does not participate in all
- of the processions during
Semana Santa, he was in this one and I got a shot of him (on the
- previous
page, third row, second shot from the left).
- While I am sure there are some
great websites out there in cyberspace on Semana Santa in Spain
- in English, I could not find
them so here are the choice sites in Spanish (if you want to learn the
lingo,
- try Academia
=elemadrid=): Site 1) www.semanasanta.tv
-
- If you want it in English, get
on their cases about translating the sites. I welcome any English
- language Semana
Santa website suggestions for this page.
