Easter in Spain has been very different from Easter in America for several reasons...
1. Semana Santa--a week of processionals and parades with huge ornate foats topped with scuptures of Christ and the Virgin Mary each carried by 80 men, Nazarenos (look these guys up on Google images), and lots of candles and inscense
2. Mass at the Cathedral of Sevilla--the third largest cathedral in the world and the largest gothic structure in the world, this was quite a different experience than any previous Easter morning service I've attended
3. No Easter brunch with family, no Easter eggs, Easter baskets, Easter ham, etc.
