The Holy Week in Seville, Spain is the most important feast of the city during the year, lasting from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday. During this week, 60 religious brotherhoods called hermandades hold processions from their churches to the Cathedral. Each hermandad has two large wooden platforms called pasos carrying lifelike sculptures depicting scenes from the passion of Christ, with one carrying an image of Christ and the other carrying an image of the Virgin Mary. The processions include nazarenos who accompany the pasos wearing distinctive robes, and costaleros who carry the heavy platforms on poles over their shoulders. Musical bands play traditional marches behind each paso.
