Religious Processions
The most iconic part of Semana Santa are the *processions**, which are organized by different **Catholic brotherhoods (cofradías)**. Members dress in traditional robes and **pointed hoods (capirotes)* — these aren’t related to anything sinister; they’re symbolic of penance and anonymity.

Each procession involves:
*Floats (tronos or pasos)* carrying lifelike statues of **Jesus, the Virgin Mary**, and other biblical scenes.
*Marching bands* playing solemn music.
*Penitents* walking barefoot or carrying crosses as acts of devotion.

📍 Key Events in Palma
The *main processions* usually happen on *Holy Thursday (Jueves Santo)* and *Good Friday (Viernes Santo)**. These processions wind through the historic streets of Palma — especially around **La Seu Cathedral**, **Carrer de Sant Miquel**, and **Plaça Major* — creating a hauntingly beautiful and reverent atmosphere at night.

🔥 Special Atmosphere
The old town is filled with candlelight, incense, and the sound of drums and trumpets. Even for non-religious visitors, it’s a moving cultural experience. Many shops close or adjust hours during the most sacred days.

🥖 Traditional Foods
Semana Santa is also a time for traditional *Easter sweets* and foods like:
*Panades* (savoury pies)
*Robiols* (sweet filled pastries)
*Crespells* (Mallorcan cookies)
