概要
Semana Santa…it's holy week, that time of year again when Spain stops. Schools close, businesses shut down, and people fill the streets for religious processions that last hours, some of which have been happening continuously for five hundred years.
This episode breaks down what Semana Santa actually is, why Spain's Holy Week is unlike anything else in the Catholic world, and how a week of religious observance became one of the most intense cultural events on the Spanish calendar. You'll learn how the processions work, who organizes them, and what those pointed hoods are really about. We'll talk about the famous (Sevilla) and the lesser known (a thundering mass drumming in Aragón, medieval skeleton dancers in Catalonia, and acts of public penance in La Rioja that go back to the Middle Ages). Semana Santa runs Sunday March 29th through Sunday April 5th this year. This episode will tell you everything you need to know before it starts.
