@theflyawaygirl: No, this has nothing to do with any three letter acronym group in the USA! 🙅🏻‍♀️ THIS… is Semana Santa in Spain 🇪🇸 A lot of people get worried or concerned when they see the white pointy hats… but don’t worry! This is what the nazarenos (also known as ‘penitentes’) wear, and it’s known as a ‘capirote’. Penitents wear the capirote so that “attention is not drawn toward themselves as they repent, but towards God”. So, why does this have a concerning similarity to a certain organisation? Unfortunately, the capirote was appropriated by the group and they gained significant notoriety for it 😬 so much so that many people will immediately think of that group when they see the outfit, rather than the religious brotherhoods who wear it during their Semana Santa parades. Did you know the history of the capirote? Semana Santa is coming up! Most towns and cities in Spain will have processions (‘procesiones’) this coming week, so make sure to see one if you can! The music is incredible, and even if you’re not religious they’re truly a sight to see. 📍 Estepona, Spain 🇪🇸 #semanasanta #estepona #andalucía #spaintravel
