Santa Semana

Nearly fortnight of vacancies is out. Spanish can enjoy the vacancies more than us because their holiday begin on Friday a week before Easter Monday. What happens that time in the streets is partially recorded on the pictures and I add also two videos.
As I mentioned before, most of Spanish are believers and the big part are strong ones. I won't expand about the meaning of what had been happening here last week because I do not exactly know it. Simply, streets of Malaga, especially the centre filled the processions of confessants who convoyed the thrones with the Bible's features and following by the groups of musicians playing characteristic music. These processions that began at their churches (where they also finished) were criss-crossing the streets from the afternoon till the early morning. They arrived under our balcony at 4:30 am every day and interrupted our sleep (thank you Jesus). All the more the confessants were carrying the candles so the city is under the layer of wax now, I wonder who will clean it. Children with the wax balls were rushing behind the confessants who supplied their balls with the candle wax (see pictures), I do not know why.
On Holy Thursday Spanish army was criss-crossing the crowded streets of the city, I liked this very much (see video).
