Easter in Mallorca is taken very seriously and is a much bigger holiday than Christmas. It all starts on Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter Sunday) with parades all week, drums, trumpets, chains being dragged through the street, the works and most of these parades do not finish until past midnight, hehe only in Mallorca huh.
Each brotherhood or church group has its own colours and includes the whole family. This is the Candle parade which is held on Maundy Thursday.
The re-enactment including chains, leading the procession.
It is a wonderful thing to watch but those hoods freak me out big time. Hehe. Don't worry plenty of chocolate eggs will be eaten on Monday and all is closed from Thursday until Tuesday. Easter done in Mallorcan style.
Have fun and try not to eat too many chocolate eggs hehe. ax
