Holy Week in Spain
Holy Week in Spain is the annual tribute of the Passion of Jesus Christ celebrated by Catholic religious brotherhoods.
A common feature in Spain is the almost general usage of the nazareno or penitential robe for some of the participants in the processions.
This garment consists of a tunic, a hood with conical tip Capirote (capucha) used to conceal the face of the wearer, and sometimes a cloak. The exact colors and forms of these robes depend on the particular procession.
Some tourists from the US can be confused and connect the outfit with Ku Klux Klan.
According to historian Michael K. Jerryson, the capirote was appropriated by the early 20th-century American Ku Klux Klan members.
