3 cities including Madrid, Córdoba and Sevilla in 7 days photographing the Semana Santa, Spanish for "Holy Week". The grand and deeply moving religious and cultural celebration of Holy Week in Spain, celebrated by Catholic religious brotherhoods and confraternities that perform penitential processions on the streets of almost every Spanish city and town during a week-long commemoration of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. One of the most important festivals of the religious calendar across Spain. Thousands of locals and visitors attend and take part in the processions.
