| Procession Jesus of Nazareth and the Holy Virgin of Hope – Maundy Thursday’s parade was just as elaborate as Wednesday’s. |
|
|
|
 |
| We were standing on the main exit from the Balcon this time instead of right by the church. There were drummers and buglers of all ages. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
| As you can see, lots and lots of pics of Jesus. LOTS! |
|
 |
| At first, I was wondering if we were in for a near repeat of Wednesday night’s parade. The basic elements were the same but the ?pasos? honored the updated Maundy Thursday events. |
|
 |
| What you can’t really tell from these photos is that it takes about 30 men to carry the platform. |
|
 |
| Tonight’s paso portrays Simon the Cyrene helping Jesus cary his cross up to Calvary. |
|
 |
| Groups of little boys dressed in light white robes carried wooden crosses. This little girl lead a group of about 30 girls all dressed in purple velvet robes. Other than the bands, each symbolic group of the parade seemed to be segregated by gender. |
|
|
 |
| Madonna (the pop singer) clearly got some wardrobe ideas from these women. They were ushering in The Virgin. |
|
 |
| The parade come through in waves. The view between the first and second wave makes it easy to see why it is such slow going. |
|
 |
| We ducked out early again, this time for a coffee at Papagayo on Playa Calahonda right below the Balcon. |
|
 |
| Look at the moon! |

 |
| Check out the tan. |
