Here are numerous photos I took on Easter Sunday in 2016 in south
eastern Portugal :

In contrast to Nathan's images where members of the public appear to be
observers and non-participants, the people we saw in the Portuguese
celebrations were participants in moving crowds of humanity.

Subject: [OM] IMG: Good Friday in Alicante
I apologise if I am spamming you with images, but it has just been a
photographically rich couple of weeks. Easter is a big deal here in Spain,
for many reasons: several days off (Friday and Monday are holidays here),
the traditional onset of beach weather in this part of the country, and of
course the religious significance. There are processions every day
beginning with Palm Sunday and ending Easter Sunday. In previous years, I
have gone to the grand finale on Sunday, but this year I decided to go to
the Good Friday procession which tends to me more somber than the Sunday
one. There were actually four different processions yesterday. The one I
chose was Nuestra Se ora de la Soledad, starting around 8:30 pm from one of
the Alicante s two main churches, Bas lica de Santa Maria, and lasting for
3 hours or so. I just hung around for the beginning, and the passage
through a cozy little square a couple of hundred metres down the road. This
little gallery of 33 images will give you an ide
a of what it looks like in our part of Spain:

I always find it deliciously ironic that I, an agnostic Jew, go to see
these processions every year while my Catholic wife stays at home she
dislikes big crowds.
Cheers,
