Nazarenos
The term "Nazarenos" refers to members of religious brotherhoods in Spain, particularly during the Holy Week celebrations. They are known for their distinctive attire, which includes long robes and pointed hoods, symbolizing penance and humility. These brotherhoods, or cofradías, play a significant role in the processions that commemorate the passion of Jesus Christ.
Nazarenos often carry religious statues and candles during the processions, which are held in various cities across Spain. Their participation is a way to express devotion and maintain cultural traditions. The practice dates back to the Middle Ages and remains an important aspect of Spanish religious and cultural identity.
