another mary procession

As we wandered in the neighborhood we found a church Parroquia del senor san Isidora. beautiful cross out front. It is the patron saint of Madrid who we met on friday where they were having celebrations. today is his Feast day. we wandered on found another church" iglesia de san alberto oratorio de san Felipe"- church of st albert philippians father- but not sure where entrance was. we went around looking for the front and by the time we got back the first church was open and all these guys were dressed in their headgear to carry a mary float, this at the st isidora church. we went in and watched as they carried her out of the church with all the pageantry. we then went to eat and wandered to another church the big red one - san Salvador- (turns out this was the location of the original mosque here from 9th-12th century.- anyway the Mary float was making it's way onto the square. san Salvador church is the 2nd largest church in Sevilla.
