EVEN THOUGH I´M NOT A RELIGIOUS THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT SEMANA SANTA THAT I LOVE TO BE PART OF. I HAVE TRIED TO ATTEND FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS WITH MY CAMARA. ITS A VERY STRANGE FEELING THAT OVERCOMES ME, THE SILENCE THAT SURROUNDS US, WHILE EVERYONE IS WATCHING THE PROCESSIONS IS OVERWHELMING. THE FAITHFULL CROWD IS PATIENCE AND FULL OF EXPECTATIONS. ONCE THE VIRGIN MARY COMES OUT, SOME OF THE PEOPLE SHOW THEIR TRUE EMOTIONS, EVEN CRYING OF HAPPINESS. tHE FEELING IS SO CONTAGIOUS THAT I FEEL THE SAME WAY AND I WANT TO CRY TOO WITHOU ANY MOTIVE. I TRIED TO CAPTURE THESE EMOTIONS AROUND ME IN A VERY PERSONAL WAY.
