This is how the Holy Week is celebrated

The association of religious brotherhood that organises the procession in the city of Salamanca are posting photographs of religious icons on social media that would otherwise be a part of the parade. Adrian Cornejo, Association President, said that they're also posting videos of the procession from last year on their YouTube channel. 

The "saetas", that are sung during the procession when the effigies of Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary are carried past, are the part of the procession that can still go ahead. People are singing these flamenco prayers from balconies, which are especially popular in the southwestern region of Andalusia.

You can find a lot of videos on YouTube if you look for "saetes in confinement".

Some people violated the lockdown to celebrate Easter

People of Puerta de Segura, a small town of whitewashed houses in Andalusia, left their houses to imitate a procession. Images on the Spanish TV showed a man with drums and a woman dressed like the statue of Virgin Mary walking on the streets of the town.

In a Nearby town, Porcuna, nine women were seen wearing black dresses and carrying candles, walking on the streets. In the Northern city of Palencia, two men wearing tunic and hood carried a mock procession with idols made out of toilet paper rolls. 

Police also became a part of the act. Two municipal cars were seen driving slowly and halting like the Holy Week floats do to the tune of religious music in front of a church, in Seville.

Brotherhoods in Spain supporting people during Lockdown

With the calling off of the procession, the religious Brotherhood's are focused on the fight against coronavirus that has claimed the lives of 14,500 people in Spain. 20 Brotherhoods of Valladolid have donated 1,000 euros each for the protective gears for healthcare workers. 

With less money coming in this year as they won't be collecting any donations, they're focusing on charity work and have called off the renovation of the religious artworks.
