Farricocos, the masked penitents of Ecce Homo procession, carrying the fogaréus: the metal burning baskets that must always be lit. I’m already driving to this year’s Semana Santa location, it won’t be Braga as in this photo, but Idanha-a-Nova, where the Easter traditions of Beira Baixa have always stayed alive. #portugal #braga #Easter #holyweek #semanasanta joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00…

It’s that time of the year again, of the gloomy, heavy and sorrowful side of Catholicism: Semana Santa. This time I won’t be at Braga, and haven’t made any plans for the upcoming days, so I’ll go back to these old photos. (Lord’s Burial procession at Braga, Portugal, 2015)joaoalmeida.photoshelter.com/image/I00… #braga #easter #semanasanta #religion #catholicism
