Subject: [OM] IMG: Good Friday in Alicante
I apologise if I am spamming you with images, but it has just been a
photographically rich couple of weeks. Easter is a big deal here in Spain, for
many reasons: several days off (Friday and Monday are holidays here), the
traditional onset of beach weather in this part of the country, and of course
the religious significance. There are processions every day beginning with Palm
Sunday and ending Easter Sunday. In previous years, I have gone to the grand
finale on Sunday, but this year I decided to go to the Good Friday procession
which tends to me more somber than the Sunday one. There were actually four
different processions yesterday. The one I chose was Nuestra Se ora de la
Soledad, starting around 8:30 pm from one of the Alicante s two main churches,
Bas lica de Santa Maria, and lasting for 3 hours or so. I just hung around for
the beginning, and the passage through a cozy little square a couple of hundred
metres down the road. This little gallery of 33 images will give you an ide
a of what it looks like in our part of Spain:

I always find it deliciously ironic that I, an agnostic Jew, go to see these
processions every year while my Catholic wife stays at home she dislikes big
crowds.
Cheers,
