Its Semana Santa Again, Easter to you and Me

It is semana santa in spain and all catholic countries, my little town is having these marches where a large group of men carry these alter pieces through the streets, they are very heavy and it looks hard work, I find the practice a little bit silly, and last night they did the parade at 11pm until midnight, banging the drums and suffering in the horrible wintery weather again. It snowed in Madrid last night. Anyway i got the local english speaking paper this morning and it showed some of the scenes and in it is the La Paz Brotherhood, hood being the operative word. They wear some silly Klu Klux Klan hoods and do the marching about thing for the Easter parade and supposedly God will think your a better person for it. I personally will have a drink of wine and stay in the warmth of my house and watch a movie instead, probably with some random violence and cursing in it.

The La Paz Brotherhood, think of it what you may, but i think it is 500 years out of date
