A Most Curious Mourning

By Mark Gregory Peters

Most people are familiar with the scenes of Semana Santa in the south of Spain, with their colors and singing and general joyfulness, but in other areas, such as these pictures from Avila, they offer something different, straight out of a dour medieval custom descended directly from the inquisition.  Full of intrigue and mystery … and darkness.

From the series A most curious mourning.
