Every spring, colorful processions wind through the streets of cities like Seville, Malaga, and Valladolid, accompanied by music, candlelight, and the profound meaning of the suffering and resurrection of Christ. One of the most recognizable figures in these processions is the nazareno, a participant dressed in a long robe and pointed hood (capirote).
