The procession of the disciplinas

Curiosity · Macotera, Tierra de Peñaranda, Salamanca

Image of Macotera, not of the place itself.

From 1574, on Maundy Thursday the confraternity of the Vera Cruz went through the village barefoot and hooded, striking their backs with straps and cilices, accompanied by a group that danced the Dance of Death; the procession was banned in the eighteenth century.
