Since the 16th Century, Seville has been illuminated during Holy Week. Fifty-two brotherhoods and more than 100 pasos (portable platforms carried on the shoulders of the brotherhood members, representing scenes from Christ's Passion) pass through the downtown streets accompanied by nazarenos (penitents wearing a tunic and train or a hood and mask). Apart from its religious character, the Sevillian Holy Week is also known for the artistic quality of the statues atop the pasos, the musical bands and the saetas, popular songs considered one of the most pure forms of Flamenco and whose lyrics are inspired by Christ's Passion and the suffering of the Virgin Mary.
