Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday





This man is holding a typical palm that the children get here on Palm Sunday.











On our way to Barcelona we stop in Zaragoza to eat and by dumb luck we got in on a great example of a Palm Sunday processional.










More of the processional.














and more...










and more drummers....














and finally the float with Jesus.








Here is everyone in a small village outside the church waiting for the Good Friday processional to start.











and eventually it does, with Jesus on the cross...














being carried through the streets followed by everyone...







and in the tomb....








and finally Mary. They stop in the center plaza in the city and turn off all the lights and the choir women sing a song as if from Mary´s point of view, Very moving.






Samuel´s aunt Pilar, my mom, his aunt Lola, me and Nico all waiting to watch them get the float with Jesus on the cross back into the chuch. Not an easy task. they have to put it almost on the ground.









My mom outside a bakery with chocolate sculptures made for Easter.







Nico checking out what the Easter Bunny brought. He loves the shopping cart and the broom.
