Zamora Good Friday

Rainy during the processions today, so we watched what was available on TV. Basically, the Easter story continues with Jesus and his crucifixion, and all the pasos were very graphic in telling this story. The Virgin Mary float, which was last, was the Mary of Sadness and Loneliness for today. Last night, there was a procession from 11 pm to 1:30 am of about 7,000 Confraternity members walking in candlit silence through the streets.

We went out for groceries and everything, including restaurants, all but a tiny local kiosk was closed for Good Friday. It was a somber mood. We managed to get enough for supper, but I think we need to go out first thing tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be a day for museums and sightseeing. We have not been here since 2017, so it will be nice to re-aquaint ourselves.Read more
