In Seville, Holy Week is particularly moving, with brotherhoods processing through the narrow streets of the old quarter, creating an atmosphere of mysticism and solemnity. The incense, the sound of the bells, and the drums transport us to another era and awaken the senses.
On Palm Sunday, the streets fill with people commemorating Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. He did so riding on a donkey, as the Prince of Peace, not as a servant. On that day, the palms and olive branches are blessed, the first processions take place, and the Passion is read.
The Brotherhood of Silence is a symbol of contemplation and austerity in the early hours of Good Friday in Seville, maintaining a unique penitential discipline during Holy Week.
