"Mallorca Mass" Photograph by Stefan van Drake (2010) |
Millions of Spaniards travel to their families where they grew up to share in
Semana Santa, Holy Week celebrations and processions, starting today, Palm Sunday.
The Catholic conundrum: With only about 5 percent of registered Catholics attending Mass, it would appear the masses, however, deeply appreciate these traditions and take them most seriously. But I have yet to sell one Spaniard a weeping Virgin Mary,
Semana Santa T-shirt.
Rock on an practice peace and love.
