On Maundy Thursday and Good Friday women dress “de luto” (in mourning) in black dresses and lace mantillas. And although there are definite rules – no mini-dresses, no red lipstick, no stiletto heels (to name a few) – they are not always observed. The ladies are also always happy to pose for a photo. The blonde woman (upper-left) saw me lurking with my phone out and asked if I wanted a photo, then gathered her friends around for a group shot. And suddenly about half a dozen other people came out of nowhere with cameras ready. Score!
Wow, there’s almost too much going on this week. Spring, orange blossom, Semana Santa… AND a full moon!
Was out and about last night, since the threatened rain didn’t end up appearing. Though the threat of it had kept some of the processions from leaving home on time, rendering the printed programmes pretty much useless. As a result I didn’t see any processions, not wanting to hang about for an extra hour or so along the routes. But I got a few pics, including this one of people waiting for the late processions in the street, while contemplating the Great Power from above… 4G. 😉
