  • Note for the other Americans: This is is the look that the Klan co-opted, because racists love co-opting existing symbols.

    This is Semana Santa (Holy Week) in the southern city of Malaga Spain. They conduct mass religious processions throughout the city for the entire week starting from Palm Sunday all the way to Easter Sunday with the biggest, largest, noisiest events happening on Good Friday.

    There are over 40 brotherhoods that host major processions that include marchers carrying iconic images from the passion of Christ biblical stories. They come in a variety of colours including these guys in white tunics and white hoods .... a traditional style that has been used for hundreds of years before it was popularized by others in our modern times.

    For the record, I'm not the religious Christian type ... I'm probably more atheist than anything ... I just enjoy watching this because I was in Malaga three times to see this annual event during my holidays many years ago. It's an amazing event to see.
