Description
Tourism - Guillermo Bonilla (XX) - Semana Santa Sevilla. 1959. Printed by Anel, Granada. 100x62cm. Original poster, lithograph, canvas. Condition A-, tears. Semana Santa (Holy Week) in Seville, Andalusia, is the city's most important religious celebration and one of the most famous in Spain. Like the Feria de Abril, which it precedes by a few weeks, it sets the pace for the city's annual calendar, with a week of processions. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends a week later, on Easter Sunday, to commemorate the Resurrection of Christ. During these 7 days dedicated to the Passion of Christ, 60 brotherhoods (Hermandades and Cofradías) go out in procession to the cathedral, conclude their penitential station, before returning to their point of departure. Each of these congregations leads its own pasos (from the Latin passus, stage, but also suffering), the statues that parade through Spain during Holy Week, transported mechanically or carried by men. They are given different names in each place, according to tradition. They are richly decorated and serve as supports for carved wooden groups depicting scenes from the Passion. Huge crowds of Sevillians, Spaniards and foreigners, believers and non-believers alike, flock to the streets of the city to pay their respects or simply to admire the passage of these imposing processions of penitents, some of which are accompanied by music.
