Easter Week is celebrated all over Spain, although it is most important in the south. It is considered a one-week holiday for schools. It is a Catholic celebration that celebrates the death and resurrection of Christ.
Religious images are displayed in the street and people follow them. These images that are called "tronos" are pieces of art. They are made of gold and silver and fine fabrics. They are decorated with a lot of fresh flowers. Forty or fifty men carry these beautiful tronos with a religious image on their shoulders for hours as they parade through the streets with a musical accompaniment.
Many visitors from all over the world come to Spain for Semana Santa and enjoy this celebration.
