Marcy,

Thank you so much for your comment and for the link on your blog! I really appreciate knowing that someone finds my writing useful and interesting.

I agree with you… many Americans see things like this and have no idea what’s going on. It’s good for them to, like you say, “educate themselves.”

I’m actually a Spanish teacher in the States too… I’m licensed in the state of Pennsylvania. Where do you teach and what levels do you have?

Thanks again for stopping by and for the link!

–Chris

Thank you for sharing this. I watched the video; very moving. It *is* unlike anything that takes place in the United States.

As a Black American, it is easy to associate the hoods and cloaks with the KKK. But, as a Spanish teacher, I know better, and, for Americans to educate themselves re: the cultural significance is important.

I have linked my site to yours. I have been looking for a source to post on my website. I appreciate the manner in which you explain the events. Thank you for your contribution.

You’re right, Chris. Semana Santa is really something strange when you’re not familiar with it. I was a little “shocked” the first time I saw it too. It really does leave an impression on you.
