MORIONES FESTIVAL

Description

A week-long commemoration of Jesus’ life and death with participants dressing up as Roman soldiers roaming around the streets from Holy Monday to Easter Sunday. This religious festival reenacts the story of Longinus, the half-blind Roman soldier who pierced Jesus’ side, causing some of his blood to hit his eye and miraculously restoring his vision.
