"Empalaos"
Valverde de la Vera
Cáceres, Extramadura
20th March
A re-enactment of Christ's walk carrying the cross on which he was to be impaled at the hill of Calvary, Jerusalem.
Villager's walk through the streets in bare feet and a crown of thorns. Their only clothing is old petticoats and a veil covering their faces. They are all fastened to a plough beam by esparto ropes.
Everyone in the village walks the way of the cross and not a word is spoke, It is all in total silence.
