SEVILLE—Thousands of faithful gathered in the streets of Seville and other cities across Spain and Latin America on Jueves Santo (Holy Thursday), marking the beginning of the most solemn period of Holy Week with dramatic processions, prayer, and ancient traditions.

The night was filled with emotion as cofradías (religious brotherhoods) carried elaborately decorated pasos (floats) depicting scenes from the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, and Jesus’ arrest. In Seville, the iconic Cristo de los Gitanos (Christ of the Gypsies) procession moved through the narrow streets, accompanied by haunting saetas (flamenco-style hymns) sung from balconies.

'This is a moment of deep reflection and community,' said Antonio Rivera, a lifelong member of the Hermandad de San Gonzalo. 'We walk not just for ourselves, but to keep alive the faith of generations before us.'

Pope Francis, in his Holy Thursday homily at St. Peter’s Basilica, emphasized humility and service, washing the feet of twelve inmates at a Rome prison in a reenactment of Jesus’ act for his disciples. Meanwhile, in the Philippines, devotees held massive reenactments of the Washing of the Feet, while in Mexico, churches remained open all night for Visita a las Siete Casas (Visit to Seven Churches), a tradition symbolizing Jesus’ journey after his arrest.

Despite heavy rains in some regions, turnout was high, with many calling it one of the most moving observances in recent memory. As processions concluded in the early hours of Viernes Santo (Good Friday), pilgrims prepared for a day of even deeper solemnity—the commemoration of the Crucifixion.
