Penitents from the 'Cofradia de Jesus del Via Crucis' brotherhood take part in a procession in Zamora AFP Clad in a traditional white tunic and purple sash, four-year-old Thiago could barely contain his excitement before taking part as a drummer in a Spanish Easter procession thronged by thousands.
