Espana - Semana Santa in Seville

For Easter, some colleagues and I headed to Seville, Spain to see their cultural festivities for the occasion. The different robes represent brotherhoods in the Catholic Church and they make processions through town, from their church to the Cathedral, carrying crosses, candles and enormous floats depicting scenes from the Bible over the course of the week. Our daily routine was to wake up, find a cafe and then play cards and chat until the square filled up with people. A hush would fall over the crowd, the procession would float by and then we would find a new cafe. Without fail, a procession always came by. It felt like going back in time because it hasn't been comercialized yet. It just all seemed to happen around us.
