Spain's colourful Holy Week celebrations begin today, featuring centuries-old processions of the faithful carrying flower-covered floats topped with statues of Christ or the Virgin Mary that draw huge crowds. Organised by various religious brotherhoods, or “confradias”, the parades are held across the country in the week leading up to Easter Sunday, which this year in the Roman Catholic Church falls on April 9.
