The Parade of Resurrection - 23rd March
Desfile de Resureccion
Semana Santa Marinera, Valencia
 This
is one of the three "collective acts" of Semana Santa Marinera
in Valencia - meaning a procession involving all Brotherhoods, not just
one or two.
What it the message
Christ is resurrected and it is time for everyone to rejoice.
What you will see
On Easter Sunday the mood sharply swings to the carnival. All of the Brotherhoods
will uncover their faces and energetically walk through the district similing
and waving. The music will change from tragic to jubilant, there will
be more colours than ever, shower of flower petals and flowers thrown
into the crowd. If you can, you can join the Spanish in shouting "guapa!"
("hey, pretty!") to catch a flower.
The imagenes will not be participating
since there is no more need to remind the crowd of the Passion.
 Length
Officially, the procession takes 2 hours from first group leaving to last
group arriving. If you are on one spot and the procession goes past you,
it will take 1 hour.

Easter Sunday, 23rd Mar (2008),
