Holy Week in Spain is the annual tribute of the Passion of Jesus Christ celebrated by Catholic religious brotherhoods (Spanish: confradías) and confraternities that perform penitential processions on the streets of almost every Spanish city and town during Holy Week–the final week of Lent before Easter.
