@Sam Farnsworth: People, including millions of decent Catholics, are offended by the demonic child rapists & obscene wealth of the Roman Catholic Church!
American here with Spaniard grandparents 🙋🏻♂️ I love seeing this culture it’s really beautiful. unfortunately many people in the united states are uneducated and think that this is the KKK. Would love to see this in person one day tho
I am so happy to see Spanish Holy week, I am Catholic from the Philippines and we do the same during Holy Week and Easter. Now that times are not bad, the more we need to hold on and be open to our faith. God bless you all.
I am very grateful to be able to enjoy this video... in fact we also do this procession in Larantuka, Flores, Indonesia, on Good Friday. we call it Semana Santa in the city of Renha Rosari Larantuka, the only catholic kingdom in Indonesia that was taught by missionaries from Portugal
Coming from the Philippines and we have the same practice there in many provinces. We call it Dagósan or Dagsaan. We have it especially during labour day and partly during semana Santa!
OMG, The history of wearing these clothes comes from the Spanish Inquisition, people who wanted to redeem their sins had to do penance, the church put a conical hat with a piece of cloth that fell back and front, in the front they wrote the sins that person had fallen, hence in Spain is typical of the phrase "to wear the san benito", because that's what those clothes were called: san benito. Currently it is used because the idea of cleansing sins through penance, and so that nobody knows the person and has a little austerity and closure. Everything that others say out of this, is invented. It was used in Spain for the first time, by the sixteenth century and in the nineteenth century, by the nineteenth century, on the contrary, for the sake of personal culture. It turns out that we know more about their land than they do. regards
People also use it for carnival celebration in Southern France during the "Saint Grégoire". In fact a famous RUclipsr in France with 3.5 millions subs (joueur du grenier) used to edit touristic videos and as popularized the tradition to a part of his audience in a livestream. 🇫🇷❤️🇪🇸
That is truly beautiful it is a shame that the KKK has ruined this holiday for the Americans because they are uneducated and don’t know the actual holiday.
@@Tankznstuff4749people can choose what they want to practice but nobody expected the original Spanish inquisition to want to retake the place of the KKK in the United States. Also I'm not too big of a fan of AMLO the former Mexican president but he was 100% that parts of North America that were a colony are no longer a part of Europe we have our own ongoing histories.
Catholics in America needs to do this during Easter and Christmas. They need to show their faith and the culture they belong too. They need to stop being silent and letting the Protestant dominate the conversation.
If I am not mistaken and if I remember correctly, many years ago when I was working in New York City, there was a similar event by the Catholics around Little Italy..
I hate that you European Christians come here with your weird religious traditions. The 1st amendment is literally separation from the church and state. No religious establishment should be "dominating" anything here people have the right to choose what they want to believe in but it shouldn't be forced onto us real Americans who have older traditions. No one wants to see an older kkk the Spanish inquisition. 💀
As a Member of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, I recognise our 8-pointed Cross on the face masks of the first people. Has this anything to do with the Knights Hospitallers/ St John?
Being a member of these orders, following all these religious rituals won't get you into the everlasting life. You must be born again. It's gonna be eternity with or without God.. this is what is at stake. I could say so much more about the Vatican, Jesuits, Rome, SMOM, Malta... but I suggest to get and read a Bible and pray. Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again in victory on the third day. This has nothing to do with an 8-pointed cross or any other cross. All this religious stuff is invented by men. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. Revelation 17:18 KJV And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. Revelation 18:9-10 KJV
Watch this video.. this is what it means to follow Jesus. That woman is a true hero for Christ. These are the kind of people Jesus spoke about in Matthew 5! ruclips.net/video/O6SPy9qV1M4/видео.html Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 NKJV It has nothing to do with religious cults, traditions of men. Big buildings, expensive clothes and ornaments, expensive parades and procession, all kind of statues etc. Jesus came very strong against the religious leaders. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Mark 10:25 KJV For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Luke 18:25 KJV And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 19:24 KJV
They have the cross of Saint John because this brotherhood is settled at the Parish of Saint John, one of the oldest in downtown Malaga. By the way, this brotherhood is very special because they worship five statues (four of Jesus and two of the Virgen) and they parade in three different days: Palm Sunday (what you saw), Holly Wednesday and Holly Thursday. In the past they were different brotherhoods but they decided to merge at the end of the 19th century. The actor Antonio Banderas takes part in this procession.
The beauty of this is that it is deeply rooted in Latin America, Guatemala being the one with the largest processions in Latin America and then the rest of the countries follow
Sadly there in Poland is only one (and very small) brotherhood who wears pointy hoods. I am jealous about it, while seeing all these processions. But Im still happy and proud of you still doing your traditions, despite of how morons from other countries can mistake it for something controversial.

It does have a similar origin, but it's not exactly the same. San Benito was forced, this was done willingly by the catholics who wanted to show repentance for their sins. San Benito =/= Nazareno. Same origin in the outfit, different context.
Hi Vic. i am from Malaga and I am really happy to read this was an top experience in your life. Please. Can you write here why and what did you feel and if you have watched anything similar? Thanks in advance. I am realy interested about your point.
I thought it was an incredible cultural event, I wish I could come back one day in order to videotape it with my new camera.. Thank you for watching my videos..
Thank you for writing to me. Maybe you can shed some light for me on this fantastic event, what is it all about, how often does it take place and what is it called? I need to add more information to the title so anything that you can tell me would be greatly appreciated, thank you.......
Is called "Semana Santa"(Holy Week) The catholics commemorate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Takes place every year and begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Resurrection Sunday. In Spain the "Cofradías" (brotherhoods) take to the streets the "Pasos" (floats) which are carried by the "costaleros" in procession. Also in procession the "cofrades" who wear the penitencial clothes are the "Nazarenos". This tradition originated in the 16th century. I hope I've been helpful

Good video, and a lovely explanation of what it is and means the Holy Week here, in Spain. I enjoyed your video; I hope you enjoyed your short stay in Málaga. Maybe you would like to know that in Málaga we don't call them "pasos" but "tronos", and the "costaleros" are here called "hombres de trono". Only in Málaga -we are just so unique! Well, lastly thanks for your video and for showing to your public our traditions with such respect. Greets from a malagueño!
+Pablo Queipo de LLano y Felices Thank you very much for your wonderful comments and for viewing my videos, I am so glad I had the chance in my life of videotaping this very special event!!
@@stickcelery480 thats not true. They represent the last days of Christ: black is death, red is Blood, purple represent the cuaresme, Green is Hope, white is resurrection...
Hi Vic, Thank you so much for a nice description of the Holy Week in Malaga for people that don't know my country and this tradition. You are right, it's very touching, even more in person, all together, the "tronos" the music, the environment (and you didn't have the chance to listen when someone from the balconies sing a "saeta" special song dedicated to Jesus or Maria, that's breathtaking). For people here comparing this with kkk: this Holy Week event is a commemoration and respect to Jesus and Maria, specially to the events around Christ's death and Resurrection. This tradition has nothing to do with racism, it's way older than the existence of the kkk, and it is completely unrelated to it. Centuries later, kkk took this uniform, but this event doesn't represent anything related to them or to racism. Totally unrelated.
Well why wasn't that publicly stated years ago? Why want it made clear? Were the people it hurt not important enough to address about this? If this offended the right people would it then be globally explained?
It's because of their influence We were invaded by Spaniards for 300 years so it's not surprising why we have the same tradition Spain brought Catholicism to the Philippines
@@atadbitahistory9660 I didn't said it has something with kkk or not. I just stated that I don't like the "outfits ", period. Aparently you aren't able to comprehend a response
Me and my partner Katie was on holiday in Spain having a meal when she OMG what are the Kiu Klux Klan doing here? I turn around then turn back to her saying those are catholic priests wearing there traditional white robes and hoods. Which they have been wearing for over four hundred years. The KKK stole the look and turn into a symbol of hatred. Katie: oh.....guess you do learn something new everyday. Me: yep lol
People that don’t understand how the celebrate this day would assume that they are racists because of the clothing some people wear in this video but, they have to understand that that’s how they celebrate. In America they would’ve shut that thing down and immediately cancelled this event because of the certain clothing some people wear on this day.
La historia de llevar esas ropas viene de la inquisición española, las personas que querían redimir sus pecados debían hacer penitencia, la iglesia le ponía un sombrero cónico con un trozo de tela que caía hacia atrás y por delante, en la parte delantera escribían los pecados que había caído esa persona, de ahí que en España sea típica la frase "ponerte el san benito", porque así se llamaba esos ropajes: san benito. Actualmente se utiliza porque continúa la idea de limpiar los pecados a través de la penitencia, y para que nadie conozca a la persona y tenga un poco de austeridad y clausura. Todo lo que digan los demás fuera de esto, es inventado. Fué utilizado en España por primera vez, por el siglo XVI y los utilizado por el KKK fué en el siglo XIX, así que la gente de los EE.UU deberían saber al menos de donde proviene esas cosas, aunque sea por cultura personal. Resulta que sabemos nosotros más de su tierra que ellos mismos. Saludos.
Además deberían saber que las procesiones tienen su origen en la reconquista. España estuvo más de setecientos años bajo dominación musulmana, y, aunque en ese tiempo se permitió el culto privado tanto cristiano como judio, con el unico requisito del pago de un impuesto, (solo las invasiones de los almorávides interrumpió esta libertad de culto temporalmente). Conforme se fueron recuperando territoeios se presentaron problemas de evangelización, porque la mayoria de la población en los territorios reconquistados hablaba otra lengua y no sabía nada del cristianismo. Para superar este abismo cultural y religioso, en las principales fiestas religiosas se hacian procesiones sobre la vida de Jesus, desde el nacimiento hasta la resurrección tratando con ello de dar a conocer el cristianismo salvando las barreras lingüísticas. Estamos hablando de los siglos XI al XV q son aquellos en los q los reinos cristianos empiezan a ampliar sus fronteras de una manera considerable, proceso q culmina con la rendición de Granada, en el siglo XV. De ese instrumento de evangelización sólo quedan las procesiones de semana santa. Así q ese es el origen de la Semana Santa.
@@franciscagutierrezdomingue5831 realmente su auge se debió a una reacción del catolicismo hacia la supremacía que el protestantismo iba consiguiendo en toda Europa. No todo es por el mulsuman. Los cristianos llevan peleándose décadas por meras diferencias.
Que gracia ver un video de mi ciudad xd grateful you like my city^^ me encanta when the procession stops the guys sthoted AGUA AGUA (water, water) omg this is so spanish
First of all I'm sorry because I tried to make this comment as short as I could, and although my english is not very good I'll try to answer you with some context. (If anyone sees that I said something wrong, please correct me). I've recentky read about this because I go every Semana Santa to the south of Spain (in which this tradition is stronger and I'm from the centre of Spain) and I've always been curious on why they dress like that. The Spanish Inquisition was established at the end of the 1478 and one of the punishments was public humiliation while wearing a cloack and a "capirote" (the pointed hat), similar to what today "penitentes" wear in Semana Santa, although back then, they woudn't cover their faces. This probably evolved to be a way of showing publicy your repentance. People ask to be there in Semana Santa and they cover their faces because is between them and God (since they're christians) and to have some privacy. They accompany Jesus and Mary to "support them" while Jesus dies for their sins. Thanks Vic for the video!!!!
Read about Spanish Inquisition during the years 1500-1600 especially (altough Spanish Inquisition lasted in force until 1800s, when the culture and mentality changed cause the modern times). Holy Week in Spanish culture dates back to the 16th century, even the 15th cause some processions started to celebrate around 1480 to 1499. Inquisition was a religious rule that served, in adition of stablish Cristianism and Roman Catholicism as the Official State Religion, for making common people do penance for their sins during a whole year, and during the days of Easter, they decided march in processions for feeling purged of their errors as christians, their blasfemes, hangovers drinking in a tabern, sexual activities or petty crimes commited (for example, stealing any cheap thing, including food for being hungry). I don´t know if you´re from the USA, but if you are, search info that the historians from your land and they will teach you. I´m sure because the excellent level of American Universities.
@@VicStefanu. The KKK robes were inspired by and copied from the Spaniards. *"This tradition originated in the 16th century."* That was during the inquisition in a time when dark-skin moors were driven out of Spain.
@@elkay18Não, nessa época era usado para debochar da fé católica, os "klansmen" se vestiam assim para perseguir os católicos no sul dos estados unidos, mas tarde após a guerra civil, voltaram as perseguições mas dessa vez contra os negros. Os capirotes eram usados pelos flagelantes que faziam penitência, e como punição para quem fosse preso durante a Santa Inquisição.
@@elkay18 It has nothing to do with the Moors. It was about penance of Catholics, who dressed that way to repent for their sins. 0 to do with the Moors. Most Moors were genetically mostly native to Spain, so most of them wouldn't look darker than any Spaniards, they would look, for the most part, just the same.

Love the procession, but living in the States for so long, those outfits scare the crap out of me, lol...
HI, thank you for your comments. I am not an expert in this matter (concerning these outfits) and I am not Spanish, so I cannot offer an opinion or to even state where these outfits came from and if they are related to the KKK. I merely recorded the event since I happened to be there that day, sorry I cannot help..
The KKK copied the outfits and nope, this spanish tradition is several centuries old and it has nothing to do with the KKK or racism against blacks but catholicism.
its not the kkk, not all white ppl get along, the kkk wore these outfits to mock the catholic church since the overwhelming majority of the kkk is protestant...
Not going to lie but if I wasn’t from there is looks very much like a KKK rally but without the burning crosses. Has this rally taken place before the KKK was a thing ?
This started centuries ago, we have reason to believe that the KKK took some inspiration from these garments, considering considering the idea of them is to hide the person's identity :)
They were originally used during the Spanish inquisition, and were used by sinners made to repent. It's now used by those who want to show their repentance during this holiday.
@A C The phrase auto de fe (Act of Faith) refers to the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition or the Portuguese Inquisition had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). The phrase also commonly occurs in English in its Portuguese form auto da fé. While the torture, the trial, and the testimony of the Inquisition were conducted in complete secrecy, the auto de fé ceremony was generally held over several hours with great pomp in a principal church or central square, in the presence of the chief dignitaries and great crowds. Such an auto de fé was called Auto público general. At the Auto particular only the inquisitors were present. The 'auto-de-fe' involved: a Catholic Mass; prayer; a public procession of those found guilty; and a reading of their sentences (Peters 1988: 93-94). Other types of autos de fé were Auto singular, involving one individual, and the Autillo, which was held on the site of the Inquisition, in the presence of the Inquisitors and some special guests. The Inquisition imposed a variety of punishments, ranging from imprisonment, confiscation of property, and death. Artistic representations of the auto de fe usually depict torture and the burning at the stake. However, torture was not administered after a trial concluded, and executions were always held after and separate from the auto de fe (Kamen 1997: 192-213). The burning of heretics did not strictly form part of the auto da fé, since the church did not desire to be formally associated with the shedding of blood. Those adjudged guilty were instead relaxed (i.e., handed over) to the secular authorities who were responsible for their execution at the place of burning (quemadero), sometimes outside the town. The condemned persons were dressed in special garb, the sanbenito. A procession was formed which moved to the location of the auto de fé. A feature of the autos was the delivery of vituperative sermons by some eminent cleric; these were frequently published and 70 are extant that were delivered in Portugal alone between 1612 and 1749. In Portugal the programs of the autos with names of those who appeared in them (listas) were published in uniform quarto form: in Spain, less regularly, and mainly in octavo. The first recorded auto de fe was held in Paris in 1242, under Louis IX (Stavans 2005:xxxiv). Autos de fe also took place in Mexico, Brazil and Peru: contemporary historians of the Conquistadors such as Bernal Díaz del Castillo have recorded them. They also occurred in the Portuguese colony of Goa, India, following the establishment of Inquisition there in 1562-1563. The first Spanish auto de fe took place in Seville, Spain, in 1481; six of the men and women that participated in this first religious ritual were later executed. The latest auto In Spain was recorded in Valencia in 1826. The Inquisition enjoyed limited power in Portugal, having been established in 1536 and officially lasting until 1821, although its influence was much weakened with the government of the Marquis of Pombal, in the second half of the 18th century. All told, some 2,000 autos took place in the Peninsula and its dependencies between these two dates. The total number of those who appeared runs into hundreds of thousands, many of whom were however charged with offenses carrying less stringent penalties, such as bigamy. Those who suffered the death penalty have been reckoned at upward of 30,000. These however, include not only Marranos and Crypto-Jews, but also Protestants, Crypto-Muslims, and others.
@A C The origin of the capirotes or capuchón is in the Holy Inquisition. People who were sentenced by the Court of the Inquisition were punished with the imposition of this cardboard cone. In addition, on the capirote they were put a cloth garment that covered their chest and back. This garment was called sambenito. The expression “to hang the sambenito on someone” comes from here, as it refers to a sentence. Since the end of the 15th century, many paintings have depicted these acts of the Inquisition in their works. Same acts of terror. This goes beyond what they celebrate today. Besides that, Spain has a deep hand in genocide. Therefore, I guess your ignorance is bliss. The fact of the matter is the root of the tree is devilish, and so be the fruit. Easter is a pagan tradition. Fraternities are not holy and contradict the very scriptures that they claim to honor.
Aye is this supposed to show or celebrate the a religion’s history or somethin cus isn’t that the things that triple k wore. Don’t get me wrong cus as a person that ain’t fully understating this, I honestly need a explanation.
These are the Nazarenos. They are catholic congregations what carry the different holy images during Easter, and their clothing comes from Medieval times. Originally, they were people who wanted to have their sins forgiven, so they carried the heavy holy statues around the city or followed said statues while whipping themselves as penitency. Everyone understood that those who participated were heavy sinners, so in order to spare themselves bad reputation even after Easter (the kind of reputation that can ruin your entire life) they covered their faces in the manner shown in the video. With time, the flogging part disappeared and nowadays, the people who take part in all this are just religious people from different catholic congregations. The dressing code stucked, though, and now you can find Nazarenos wearing their clothes in different colors depending on what congregation they are and what holy statue they carry
In a simplified version of what the genius above me just explained, the KKK were around in the early 1900's ( yes, as late as that ! ), but the Spanish Catholics have had this tradition for centuries, since medieval times, I have reason to believe that the Ku Klux Klan took heavy inspiration from these garments, because they are worn to hide the person's proper identity.
Robbie Jarrett ‘BLACKKK SKKKIN HEAD’ was referring to the Negro Brotherhood of Seville. From 711 to 1492 Northwest Africans, commonly known as Moors, went in and conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, with adjoining islands, and some parts of southern France that came to be know as the Emirate of Córdoba under Umayyad Dynasty/Caliphate. This is where the Klu Klux Klan gets their infamous regalia from.

Catholics in America needs to do this during Easter and Christmas. They need to show their faith and the culture they belong too. They need to stop being silent and letting the Protestant dominate the conversation.
If I am not mistaken and if I remember correctly, many years ago when I was working in New York City, there was a similar event by the Catholics around Little Italy..

As a Member of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem, I recognise our 8-pointed Cross on the face masks of the first people. Has this anything to do with the Knights Hospitallers/ St John?
Sorry, not sure about that, maybe a viewer can help us..
Being a member of these orders, following all these religious rituals won't get you into the everlasting life. You must be born again. It's gonna be eternity with or without God.. this is what is at stake. I could say so much more about the Vatican, Jesuits, Rome, SMOM, Malta... but I suggest to get and read a Bible and pray. Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again in victory on the third day. This has nothing to do with an 8-pointed cross or any other cross. All this religious stuff is invented by men.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
James 1:27 NKJV
It has nothing to do with religious cults, traditions of men. Big buildings, expensive clothes and ornaments, expensive parades and procession, all kind of statues etc. Jesus came very strong against the religious leaders.

The church of this Brotherhood is located in St. Jhon Street in Malaga
They have the cross of Saint John because this brotherhood is settled at the Parish of Saint John, one of the oldest in downtown Malaga.
By the way, this brotherhood is very special because they worship five statues (four of Jesus and two of the Virgen) and they parade in three different days: Palm Sunday (what you saw), Holly Wednesday and Holly Thursday.
In the past they were different brotherhoods but they decided to merge at the end of the 19th century.
The actor Antonio Banderas takes part in this procession.
The beauty of this is that it is deeply rooted in Latin America, Guatemala being the one with the largest processions in Latin America and then the rest of the countries follow
Very interesting, thank you for these comments!! 👍👍👍

The history of wearing these clothes comes from the Spanish Inquisition, people who wanted to redeem their sins had to do penance, the church put a conical hat with a piece of cloth that fell back and front, in the front they wrote the sins that person had fallen, hence in Spain is typical of the phrase "to wear the san benito", because that's what those clothes were called: san benito. Currently it is used because the idea of cleansing sins through penance, and so that nobody knows the person and has a little austerity and closure. Everything that others say out of this, is invented.
It was used in Spain for the first time, by the sixteenth century and in the nineteenth century, by the nineteenth century, on the contrary, for the sake of personal culture. It turns out that we know more about their land than they do.

Hi, thank you for this information and for viewing my videos!!
It does have a similar origin, but it's not exactly the same. San Benito was forced, this was done willingly by the catholics who wanted to show repentance for their sins. San Benito =/= Nazareno. Same origin in the outfit, different context.
Thanks..now I know the meaning of wearing that clothes
Who exactly are the 42 Brotherhoods ?
were they crusaders?
were they based in spain?

Hi Vic. i am from Malaga and I am really happy to read this was an top experience in your life. Please. Can you write here why and what did you feel and if you have watched anything similar? Thanks in advance. I am realy interested about your point.
I thought it was an incredible cultural event, I wish I could come back one day in order to videotape it with my new camera.. Thank you for watching my videos..

Thank you for writing to me. Maybe you can shed some light for me on this fantastic event, what is it all about, how often does it take place and what is it called? I need to add more information to the title so anything that you can tell me would be greatly appreciated, thank you.......
Is called "Semana Santa"(Holy Week) The catholics commemorate the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus
Takes place every year and begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Resurrection Sunday.
In Spain the "Cofradías" (brotherhoods) take to the streets the "Pasos" (floats) which are carried by the "costaleros" in procession.
Also in procession the "cofrades" who wear the penitencial clothes are the "Nazarenos".
This tradition originated in the 16th century.
I hope I've been helpful

Hi Vic, Thank you so much for a nice description of the Holy Week in Malaga for people that don't know my country and this tradition. You are right, it's very touching, even more in person, all together, the "tronos" the music, the environment (and you didn't have the chance to listen when someone from the balconies sing a "saeta" special song dedicated to Jesus or Maria, that's breathtaking). For people here comparing this with kkk: this Holy Week event is a commemoration and respect to Jesus and Maria, specially to the events around Christ's death and Resurrection. This tradition has nothing to do with racism, it's way older than the existence of the kkk, and it is completely unrelated to it. Centuries later, kkk took this uniform, but this event doesn't represent anything related to them or to racism. Totally unrelated.

Hello, thank you for your comments and for watching my videos!! 😊😊😊
Not only that, but the KKK was Protestant and they hated Catholics.
Guys this is not the kkk
La historia de llevar esas ropas viene de la inquisición española, las personas que querían redimir sus pecados debían hacer penitencia, la iglesia le ponía un sombrero cónico con un trozo de tela que caía hacia atrás y por delante, en la parte delantera escribían los pecados que había caído esa persona, de ahí que en España sea típica la frase "ponerte el san benito", porque así se llamaba esos ropajes: san benito. Actualmente se utiliza porque continúa la idea de limpiar los pecados a través de la penitencia, y para que nadie conozca a la persona y tenga un poco de austeridad y clausura. Todo lo que digan los demás fuera de esto, es inventado.
Fué utilizado en España por primera vez, por el siglo XVI y los utilizado por el KKK fué en el siglo XIX, así que la gente de los EE.UU deberían saber al menos de donde proviene esas cosas, aunque sea por cultura personal. Resulta que sabemos nosotros más de su tierra que ellos mismos.

Además deberían saber que las procesiones tienen su origen en la reconquista. España estuvo más de setecientos años bajo dominación musulmana, y, aunque en ese tiempo se permitió el culto privado tanto cristiano como judio, con el unico requisito del pago de un impuesto, (solo las invasiones de los almorávides interrumpió esta libertad de culto temporalmente). Conforme se fueron recuperando territoeios se presentaron problemas de evangelización, porque la mayoria de la población en los territorios reconquistados hablaba otra lengua y no sabía nada del cristianismo. Para superar este abismo cultural y religioso, en las principales fiestas religiosas se hacian procesiones sobre la vida de Jesus, desde el nacimiento hasta la resurrección tratando con ello de dar a conocer el cristianismo salvando las barreras lingüísticas. Estamos hablando de los siglos XI al XV q son aquellos en los q los reinos cristianos empiezan a ampliar sus fronteras de una manera considerable, proceso q culmina con la rendición de Granada, en el siglo XV. De ese instrumento de evangelización sólo quedan las procesiones de semana santa. Así q ese es el origen de la Semana Santa.

Why do they cover their faces?
Hi Tanya, I am not sure why they cover their faces, this is a very old ritual..
First of all I'm sorry because I tried to make this comment as short as I could, and although my english is not very good I'll try to answer you with some context. (If anyone sees that I said something wrong, please correct me).
I've recentky read about this because I go every Semana Santa to the south of Spain (in which this tradition is stronger and I'm from the centre of Spain) and I've always been curious on why they dress like that.
The Spanish Inquisition was established at the end of the 1478 and one of the punishments was public humiliation while wearing a cloack and a "capirote" (the pointed hat), similar to what today "penitentes" wear in Semana Santa, although back then, they woudn't cover their faces.
This probably evolved to be a way of showing publicy your repentance. People ask to be there in Semana Santa and they cover their faces because is between them and God (since they're christians) and to have some privacy.
They accompany Jesus and Mary to "support them" while Jesus dies for their sins.
Thanks Vic for the video!!!!
Hello my friend and thank you for these very interesting comments and for the information!!
Hi tanya...the covering of their faces represents that all human beings are equal in the eyes of God..
They are doing that as expiration for their sins. So, to keep the anonymity of the volunteer sinners, they wear masks.
While I’m clearly aware this isn’t the Klan Klowns, I’m very curious, what exactly is the purpose of the robes?
It’s a form of penitence
To give anonimity as a penitent and to show by the color and ornament that they belong to a especific brotherhood .
World needs more public penitence like this!
Read about Spanish Inquisition during the years 1500-1600 especially (altough Spanish Inquisition lasted in force until 1800s, when the culture and mentality changed cause the modern times).
Holy Week in Spanish culture dates back to the 16th century, even the 15th cause some processions started to celebrate around 1480 to 1499.
Inquisition was a religious rule that served, in adition of stablish Cristianism and Roman Catholicism as the Official State Religion, for making common people do penance for their sins during a whole year, and during the days of Easter, they decided march in processions for feeling purged of their errors as christians, their blasfemes, hangovers drinking in a tabern, sexual activities or petty crimes commited (for example, stealing any cheap thing, including food for being hungry).

This started centuries ago, we have reason to believe that the KKK took some inspiration from these garments, considering considering the idea of them is to hide the person's identity :)
They were originally used during the Spanish inquisition, and were used by sinners made to repent. It's now used by those who want to show their repentance during this holiday.

@A C The phrase auto de fe (Act of Faith) refers to the ritual of public penance of condemned heretics and apostates that took place when the Spanish Inquisition or the Portuguese Inquisition had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). The phrase also commonly occurs in English in its Portuguese form auto da fé.
While the torture, the trial, and the testimony of the Inquisition were conducted in complete secrecy, the auto de fé ceremony was generally held over several hours with great pomp in a principal church or central square, in the presence of the chief dignitaries and great crowds. Such an auto de fé was called Auto público general. At the Auto particular only the inquisitors were present. The 'auto-de-fe' involved: a Catholic Mass; prayer; a public procession of those found guilty; and a reading of their sentences (Peters 1988: 93-94). Other types of autos de fé were Auto singular, involving one individual, and the Autillo, which was held on the site of the Inquisition, in the presence of the Inquisitors and some special guests. The Inquisition imposed a variety of punishments, ranging from imprisonment, confiscation of property, and death.
Artistic representations of the auto de fe usually depict torture and the burning at the stake. However, torture was not administered after a trial concluded, and executions were always held after and separate from the auto de fe (Kamen 1997: 192-213). The burning of heretics did not strictly form part of the auto da fé, since the church did not desire to be formally associated with the shedding of blood. Those adjudged guilty were instead relaxed (i.e., handed over) to the secular authorities who were responsible for their execution at the place of burning (quemadero), sometimes outside the town.
The condemned persons were dressed in special garb, the sanbenito. A procession was formed which moved to the location of the auto de fé. A feature of the autos was the delivery of vituperative sermons by some eminent cleric; these were frequently published and 70 are extant that were delivered in Portugal alone between 1612 and 1749. In Portugal the programs of the autos with names of those who appeared in them (listas) were published in uniform quarto form: in Spain, less regularly, and mainly in octavo.
The first recorded auto de fe was held in Paris in 1242, under Louis IX (Stavans 2005:xxxiv). Autos de fe also took place in Mexico, Brazil and Peru: contemporary historians of the Conquistadors such as Bernal Díaz del Castillo have recorded them. They also occurred in the Portuguese colony of Goa, India, following the establishment of Inquisition there in 1562-1563.
The first Spanish auto de fe took place in Seville, Spain, in 1481; six of the men and women that participated in this first religious ritual were later executed. The latest auto In Spain was recorded in Valencia in 1826. The Inquisition enjoyed limited power in Portugal, having been established in 1536 and officially lasting until 1821, although its influence was much weakened with the government of the Marquis of Pombal, in the second half of the 18th century.
All told, some 2,000 autos took place in the Peninsula and its dependencies between these two dates. The total number of those who appeared runs into hundreds of thousands, many of whom were however charged with offenses carrying less stringent penalties, such as bigamy. Those who suffered the death penalty have been reckoned at upward of 30,000. These however, include not only Marranos and Crypto-Jews, but also Protestants, Crypto-Muslims, and others.
@A C The origin of the capirotes or capuchón is in the Holy Inquisition. People who were sentenced by the Court of the Inquisition were punished with the imposition of this cardboard cone. In addition, on the capirote they were put a cloth garment that covered their chest and back. This garment was called sambenito. The expression “to hang the sambenito on someone” comes from here, as it refers to a sentence. Since the end of the 15th century, many paintings have depicted these acts of the Inquisition in their works.
Same acts of terror. This goes beyond what they celebrate today. Besides that, Spain has a deep hand in genocide. Therefore, I guess your ignorance is bliss. The fact of the matter is the root of the tree is devilish, and so be the fruit. Easter is a pagan tradition. Fraternities are not holy and contradict the very scriptures that they claim to honor.

Don’t get me wrong cus as a person that ain’t fully understating this,
I honestly need a explanation.
These are the Nazarenos. They are catholic congregations what carry the different holy images during Easter, and their clothing comes from Medieval times. Originally, they were people who wanted to have their sins forgiven, so they carried the heavy holy statues around the city or followed said statues while whipping themselves as penitency. Everyone understood that those who participated were heavy sinners, so in order to spare themselves bad reputation even after Easter (the kind of reputation that can ruin your entire life) they covered their faces in the manner shown in the video. With time, the flogging part disappeared and nowadays, the people who take part in all this are just religious people from different catholic congregations. The dressing code stucked, though, and now you can find Nazarenos wearing their clothes in different colors depending on what congregation they are and what holy statue they carry
In a simplified version of what the genius above me just explained, the KKK were around in the early 1900's ( yes, as late as that ! ), but the Spanish Catholics have had this tradition for centuries, since medieval times, I have reason to believe that the Ku Klux Klan took heavy inspiration from these garments, because they are worn to hide the person's proper identity.
