EASTER RESURRECTION PROCESSION

Our main attraction in Rhonda (Andalusia) on Easter Sunday was the procession with the statue of the Risen Christ.
Officially the procession is organised by the Union of Fraternities and Brotherhoods. It’s history goes back to 1712. Women play and important part at the festive procession.
Many thanks for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture.

Interesting scene, why are their heads covered? They look quite scary.

Very impressive...

Reminds me of similar things I have seen in Spain. I always find the pointed hoods quite frightening.

[Connie Little]

Great capture of this procession. I am wondering about the hoods too.

[Dione Giorgio]

@onewing The hoods are part of the traditional clothing of the confraternity and the colour changes with each different confraternity.

An impressive sight but I agree, the hoods are rather confronting :)

[Yao RL]

Very rich in colours and styles.

[Marcy]

An interesting scene!

[Claude Trew]

Great image but I agree with everyone, the hoods are somewhat disconcerting.

Impressive shot, but the pointed hoods freak me out.

[Carole Sandford]

Nice capture of this procession. Interesting attire - reminiscent of a not so nice group of people, if you get my drift!

[Taffy]

Very impressive looking colors and robes, but the costume's shapes are unnerving as others also noted.

[Netkonnexion]

Cool image. Impressive garb. Nice one.

Lovely to see how different countries celebrate Easter. I love being in Greece with family to celebrate Orthodox Easter.
