As much as Malta is rich in devotion towards the celebration of Holy Week, other countries are just about spectacular in the reverence they have towards images and decorations they use during Holy Week. I take you today towards southern Spain around Malaga and Seville with images in churches depicting various states which are usually carried out during the processions held during this holiest of weeks.
Among these 3 images, you may notice on one of the banners the Maltese cross, while on another Jesus is riding a donkey as he enters Jerusalem, a tradition that I had started in my three Oregon parishes, with a donkey or two leading our Palm Sunday procession, all of which unfortunately have been discontinued.
