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. He and other members of the younger generations belie the belief that the elderly are custodians of the centuries-old rite, defying a secular trend in the historically Catholic country. Parading with family in the northwestern city of Zamora is what most excites Thiago during Holy Week, when Catholics commemorate the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in solemn processions organised by religious brotherhoods.
