Midnight candles, red eggs, wooden churches
Good Friday statues, then a running Risen Christ
Sixty brotherhoods and a procession all night
Barefoot hooded penitents, in the Minho
Painted-egg markets, then apricot blossom
A living Passion play, then pintxos
A procession that lasts twenty-four hours
Via Crucis at the Colosseum, then Umbrian quiet
Blessed baskets, mystery plays, and Wet Monday
Midnight fireworks, roast lamb, smashed pots
Azaleas out, humidity not yet arrived
Thrones, patios and sherry, without the crush
