EASTER IN SPAIN (1)

In these photos you can see some of our Comenius Spanish partners, enjoying and living our unusual Holy Week:

This is Rafa Martín. He belongs to a group called “Imperio Romano”. They march in all the processions with a band playing Easter music. It is very colourful and rhythmical. On Good Fridays when Jesus dies, the feathers of their helmets change into black colour as a mourning signal.

Photographs 2 and 3 belong to the Easter group of our teacher Tomás López. They represent the symbols of religion

In photograph 4 you can see our headmaster Antonio Guerra. His Easter group represents a biblical passage of the Old Testament. In this photo you can see their faces because they are not in the parade, they normally wear a kind of “Mask” with the face of the biblical figures they  represent

Photographs 5,6 and 7 belong to the representation of the 4 Evangelists that is the reason why they carry a book in their arms, it represents the New Testament which was written by them. Antonio Ortega is a member of this group, you can see them in the official parade.

Picture number 8 is Francis Pérez with his son. He represents the guardian who was in charge of the Roman Empire. They also wear colourful clothes and everything is done in details, their steps when they parade, they cannot speak or move during the processions and they are usually really long.
