Easter parades at Palma de Mallorca

Parades of carapunats, or hooded penitents, take place all around the Mallorca island from Monday to Easter Sunday to mark the Passion of Christ. The solemn Crist de La Sang procession takes place on Maundy Thursday - the Thursday before Easter, during which a representation of the crucified Christ is carried through the streets to remind worshippers of the meaning of Christianity.
