Description
Tourism - Antonio (XX) - Semana Santa Santander. 1952. Printer Lit. F. Fons, Santander, Granada. 96x68cm. Original poster, lithograph, canvas. Condition A. Holy Week (Semana santa) in Santander, Spain, is one of the city's many religious events. It is the rhythm of the city's annual calendar, and for a week the city lives to the rhythm of the 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, the confraternities go out in procession to the cathedral, conclude their penitential station, before returning to their point of departure. Each of these congregations leads on its long journey its 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 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. Religiosa.
