Holy Week

In this last entry of my blog, I would like to talk about Holy Week, a popular festivity in which I participate since I was a child. It is one of the most popular festivity in Spain and especially in Andalusia, where we live it with more intensity. As in most of everything that surrounds us, geometry is also present in Holy Week, however strange it may seem. As we already know, at Holy Week there are thrones on the streets that represent different moments of the passion of Christ, accompanied in most of the times by the Virgin Mary. As for the geometry we find several objects that are governed by geometric figures of which we could highlight: Capirote: The capirote is the outfit worn by the Nazarene brothers of the different brotherhoods on their heads. As we see in the image, it has a conical shape. Each brotherhood covers the capirote with the coverros of the color of the brotherhood, in this case purple color. It is an outfit in sign of penance.
