We need to research this procession
Has deep meaning in the Catholic church in Spain
The procession halted many times
Then began when the drums started
Silver items
Special paraders
Purple now
Only happens this time of year
Men and lady musicians
Here comes the silver casket
Special guests
Contained a figure of Christ
Not carried on their shoulders anymore
Wheeled down the cobbled streets
Very slow-going
The body is not real
Someone has to polish the silver
heading towards Cadiz Cathedral
One of the many priests
Special costumes
Many dignitaries of Cadiz
We sure had a good spot
Young altar boys and girls
More silver icons coming
White candles – seemed dangerous to us
The kids cannot see behind those hoods
More silver church banners
Wax was dripping from the candles
The locals were asking for some candle wax dripped on papers
One kid trying to see
Very unusual
This is done during Easter Week
An honor to parade
About time to lleave for us
The plaza emptied out
Pleasant walk back to the ship
We were docked right near the center of town
Easy to access Old Town
