Nazarene

A pair on Nazarenes on a "Paso de Semana Santa". Very traditional on Easter in our country but, this time, due to confinement all of them have been cancelled. Their cone hood is part of their dresses. Some of those "pasos" have move to a virtual space, someother have been delayed to better times.

I found this very moving and a grim reminder of what we are living with just now.

Such a learning curve here at 365. I had never heard of or seen this before, so my first instinct was to gasp because it reminded me of the symbolism here in the USA, of the KKK and racial hatred. I'm so so so glad that Danbo is a peace-loving religiously devoted participant of the "pasos"

@jyokota “Capirotes” has been used here from XVII on religious events. Also, It was used by Inquisition as a punishment for guilty. The KKK uses that much later for Its dark purposes later in the XX century. Off course witch a oppossite symbolism that original one

@ethelperry thank you. People that believe on these traditions are sad about these times. Then they use imagination to handle that
