We have these processions all over Malta every year on Good Friday. Very interesting to see. Many of the statues are quite old here and it's all taken very seriously judging from the amount spent on the costumes bought privately by individuals who like to take part in these processions.

Semana Santa is a beautiful, dramatic dichotomy of solemnity and celebration that captures Spain's passion and essence. It's Holy Week with foil balloons.
