![]() Semana Santa 2006Seville, 13 April 2006Jeff provides us with some images from the first four days of Semana Santa 2006. He is working on a project which involves seeing every procession. Started in 2002, it will likely take until 2007 to finish documenting each procession. ![]() A paso from Santa Genoveva, between Parque Maria Luisa and the Palacio San Telmo. ![]() Penitentes carry crosses behind the paso, or float. ![]() The float of the Virgin Mary crosses the avenue. We see Seville's newest attraction, the Ferris wheel, in the background. ![]() A close view of the detailed embroidery work carried with the procession. ![]() A nazareno stops to chat with a friend before moving on. ![]() In Triana we witness a saeta, where the float stops and the crowd grows quiet to hear singing dedicated to the paso of San Gonzalo. ![]() The saeta is over, and the procession can move forward. ![]() San Gonzalo crosses the Triana bridge, on it's way to the official procession route and Cathedral. ![]() In the Plaza de San Leandro we come across the return part of the procession known as El Beso de Judas. ![]() The following day we start in the Alfalfa with La Candelaria, as it arrives from the San Nicolas church in Santa Cruz. ![]() Next stop is Plaza Nueva, where we find the procession Los Estudiantes. ![]() Policemen in their formal attire, await the arrival of the first procession in Plaza San Francisco. ![]() Back to Plaza Salvador by chance we find San Bernardo passing in front of the church. ![]() Later in the evening on Calle Trajano, a close up of one of the images of El Buen Fin. ![]() As the float stops there is time to consider the little details. ![]() A few blocks away in the Alameda de Hercules is La Lanzada. ![]() A closer view of the bottom part of the float. ![]() Later in the evening in the Plaza de Museo we waited an hour to see Siete Palabras. It's been a tiring 3 days. Hopefully after 2007 and 5 years, we will have seen every procession. Close Window |
