Semana Santa 2016: Palm Sunday Processions in Seville, Spain

La Paz, La Borriquita and El Amor are among the nine confraternities who process through the streets of Seville, Spain, on Palm Sunday. Over the course of Semana Santa, or Holy Week, 60 confraternities held processions, as did another 12 in the two days before Palm Sunday.
