During Easter in Spain, religious processions take place featuring groups called Nazarenes dressed in robes and hoods carrying platforms with sculptures. A procession involves Nazarenes, platforms featuring sculptures, and penitents who feel sorry for past sins. The processions occur on Palm Sunday, Easter Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Holy Friday, and Holy Sunday, with the number of platforms varying each day.

1. During Easter we celebrate the last days of Jesus
Christ’s life.

2. What is a procession?
A procession is a group of
people dressed up with a
special cone and fabric on
it. In the fabric there are two
holes at the height of the
eyes, because they put it
on the head. We call it hood.
They also dress a robe.
These people are called
Nazarenes.
The thing that we call Saint
is a platform with its
sculpture.
