In this print captured by Marcelo del Pozo, penitents are seen making their way towards a church before participating in the renowned procession of "La Paz" (The Peace) brotherhood during Holy Week in Seville, southern Spain. The image beautifully encapsulates the fervor and devotion that permeates the Andalusian capital during this religious celebration. As part of an age-old tradition, hundreds of Easter processions take place around the clock throughout Spain during Holy Week, attracting thousands of visitors from near and far. The penitents featured in this photograph don long robes and pointed hoods as they solemnly walk through the streets, carrying candles or crosses as symbols of their faith. The atmosphere is one of reverence and anticipation as these devotees prepare to join fellow members of their brotherhood for a spiritual journey through Seville's historic center. The city's narrow cobblestone streets serve as a backdrop to this awe-inspiring display of religious devotion. Through his lens, del Pozo captures not only the physical presence but also the emotional intensity etched on each participant's face. Their commitment to upholding centuries-old traditions is palpable, creating an indelible impression on all who witness it. This powerful image serves as a reminder that Holy Week in Seville is more than just a tourist attraction; it represents a profound expression of faith and cultural heritage that continues to thrive in modern-day Spain.
