It is called Semana Santa. On those days, religious images are displayed in the streets, and people follow them. These images, called tronos, are pieces of art. They are made of gold and silver and fine fabrics. They are decorated with a lot of fresh flowers. They are so beautiful. Forty or fifty men hold each trono on their shoulders all the way, which used to be between four or five hours, always at night. The history of the present day traditions of Holy Week in Sevilla has its origins as early as 1248 when King Fernando III reclaimed Sevilla from the Moors.

How did the Romans decorate Easter eggs?
Eggs in the ancient world were dyed different colors, but they weren't called Easter eggs. They were used in spring festivals. Easter owes its origins to old German mythology and the name came from "Eostre" who is the Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. The festival of Eostre was celebrated at the vernal equinox. The English name of Easter is newer. When early English Christians wanted others to accept Christianity they decided to use the name Easter for this holiday so that it would natch the name of the old spring festival. The fest of Easter was well established by the second century and Constantine called the Council of Nicaea in 325 to decide the date of Easter. They decided that Easter should fall on Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox.
