Antonio Banderas in Holy Week Procession

0:00On March 30, Antonio Banderas dove right into Holy Week in his hometown of Malaga, Spain, leading one of the big Palm Sunday processions that kick off the whole Catholic celebration. Dress in a traditional beige penitent robe with green accents, he sang a hymn in church, then gave the signal to lift the float carrying the virgin. From his brotherhood, tears and favors. He's been doing this for over 20 years now, blending his Hollywood fame with these deep-rooted local traditions right in southern Spain's streets. These events draw massive crowds, especially in end illusion spots like Malaga and Seville, where ornate floats and hundreds of penitents parade for. Hours under the sun. Palm Sunday honors Jesus entering Jerusalem, setting the stage for good Friday's crucifixion remembrances and Easter's resurrection. Meanwhile, in places like Cabra near Cordoba, folks get creative with palm branches and even apostles and masks, keeping the faith alive across towns, big and small.

1:00Over the coming week, thousands more will haul those heavy images of Jesus and the Virgin Mary through narrow alleys while residents and tourists. Line up to cheer, toss flowers, or just stand in quiet awe as the processions roll on into the night. That wraps global news today. Brought to you with AI.
