Hello,

Arpi, the Virgin Image is that of "Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación" (Can't be translated into English!) is an anonymous work from XVII century, she belongs to the San Benito Brotherhood. The Christ image is the "Santísimo Cristo de las Misericordias" he belongs to the "Santa Cruz" brotherhood.
The black "Nazareno" is from the "estudiantes" brotherhood
The blue "Penitente" is from the "Quinta Angustia" brotherhood

The "Romería de la Virgen del Rocío" is later, in the end of spring, I'm enclosing a picture (not mine! you can see more in http://www.rocio.com)

Kind regards,

[arpi]

jlm, thanks for the explanation. I'll be glad to see more pics of that :)

Pardon my extreme ignorance here, and I hope nobody takes offense to this, but these people aren't anyway affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan correct ? I think I'm just so used to seeing masked people with pointy tops like that associated with racism. And unfortunately religion and racism seem to go hand and hand with them.
