    Era in tournée a Siviglia e ho visto questo! Come americano questo dà vibrazioni KKK, ma suppongo che ovviamente non sia così così curioso di sapere cosa sia!

      Those are nazarenos, members of different confraternities that take part in the Holy Week celebrations. I always find it kinda wild that the Klan, which was radically anticatholic, lifted iconography from a catholic tradition

      Religious rite. The people dressed so are called “papones”. They are most often seen in processions during the Holy Week.

      If I am not mistaken (but have no source right now), the KKK copied their dress from these.

      It is a garment that some Christian congregations use historically in parts of Spain and Italy during religious celebrations, it’s use predating the KKK, who appropriated it. In southern Spain you will commonly see it in Easter/Holy Week processions.

      It’s from “Semana santa”, a religious tradition. Nothing to do with KKK.

      The tour should have explained it! Anyway, google ‘Nazarenos’. A sight to behold when in procession.
