Passers Past Periodically Processed Procession Processions Remove Seville Virgin Week
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich and deeply rooted tradition of Holy Week in Seville, Spain. Taken in the late 1890s, the image shows a procession making its way through the streets of this historic city. At the heart of the procession is the venerated Virgin of the Carreteria, carried on the shoulders of devotees as they make their slow and solemn progress. Holy Week, or Semana Santa, is a time of deep religious significance for the people of Seville, with various processions taking place throughout the city. During these processions, participants carry intricately carved floats, or pasos, depicting scenes from the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary. The Virgin of the Carreteria is one of the most revered images in Seville, and her procession is one of the most popular and well-attended. As the procession passes, the crowd makes way, removing their hats as a sign of respect and reverence. The image of the Virgin, with her somber expression and ornate robes, is a powerful reminder of the solemnity and spiritual depth of the occasion. The photograph itself is a testament to the enduring nature of this historical tradition, which continues to draw thousands of visitors to Seville each year. The streets of Seville, with their cobblestones and ancient architecture, provide a fitting backdrop to this sacred event. The image invites us to reflect on the deep spiritual and cultural significance of Holy Week in Seville, and the enduring power of religious traditions to bring communities together.
