2 OUR HOLY WEEK 5th B PUPILS Group: MEN WITH THRONES

3 The main festival in our city during the spring is the Holy Week. It´s a special time in Andalucia, our towns and villages change these seven days.

4 The Holy Week is for us a way to be with Ghost. We make many parades and we remember the reason because the son of Lord was killed. It could seem hard, but, in fact, the best moment for Christians is the resurrection at the end of this period of time.

5 This festival is in March or April, it depends on the moon. Many people participate in these parades called processions, they are penitens, but we use the word “nazarenos” because Christ was born in Nazaret

6 The figures of Christ and the Virgin are taken on thrones by a big group of men; these thrones are covered with gold or silver and they are carefully decorated before the event. A band of musicians plays religious music after the thrones and people, who want to thank something to Christ or Virgin or ask them for a special favour, follow them.

7 Children like these processions because many of them dress up as penintents and other make big balls with the wax that falls from the candles. There are different ways of living Holy Week and, in fact, some people are not Christians, but they like it because they can see Art in our streets.
