corpus christi, sevilla, spain

corpus 24 (1)

You may recall that last year Corpus Christi got rained out (for the first time ever) so this year I was keen to haul myself out of bed at ridiculous o’clock to walk the procession route before it started. BUT… I had a tapas tour booked this evening and I realised that I’d be lucky to get to sleep before 2 am (always need to wind down afterwards) and so on my way home I walked a part of the route and took a few pics. The altars still weren’t totally set up but the shop windows and balconies had their displays up. And I caught a virgin making her way through the arches on her way to the Cathedral. And that’ll be it for me, I’m afraid. Still, something new as I’ve never seen the route at almost midnight. Pics below…

semana santa 2024, sevilla, spain

2021 revisited

The first cancellation of Semana Santa in 2020 came as a shock to everyone, including myself, because it seemed unimaginable. The following year as we waited for the first Covid vaccine rollout it was cancelled once again and this was the very poignant official poster that year. It could also serve for this year with the entire week’s weather forecast not only rainy but also with storm and wind warnings. That hasn’t stopped a few processions from going out… it’s like living in denial has become a thing. I don’t understand why they would risk damage to these works of art. Even the archbishop has said to the hermandades who were not able to go out this year that THIS should be considered their penance. Whatevs. I’m staying home for the rest of the week.
