Fellow programmers.
Happy #hacktoberfest. This event, hosted over here, is about giving back to open source projects. We encourage you all to check it out and make some contributions. We prepared some issues by ourself, they can be found here, but fear not to take on other issues in our repo.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask them away in our chats, we are there to help!
In Spain, Good Friday is part of Semana Santa (Holy Week). Cities hold large religious processions.
Groups called brotherhoods organize these events. People wear long robes and pointed hoods. They walk slowly as an act of penance.
Huge floats called “pasos” show scenes from the crucifixion of Jesus. These can weigh over a ton and are carried by teams underneath.
Some cities have music with drums and bands. Others stay completely silent. People also sing emotional songs from balconies.
In Seville, processions can last all night. In Málaga, there is a tradition of pardoning a prisoner. In Valladolid, old sculptures from the 16th and 17th centuries are used.
Traditional foods include torrijas and buñuelos.
