Semana Santa

This week is Holy Week (Semana Santa). I have spent Semana Santa in Alicante, Spain, in Murcia, and in Honduras. It is a moving experience to understand and recognize the blind devotion of the humble masses in these places. Obviously, the most overwhelming of all Semana Santa celebrations are those held in Sevilla. Here are a few others that have shared their celebration online:

Orihuela
Guatemala
San Miguel de Allende (Mexico)
Peru
