A very\u00a0real and\u00a0passionate re-enactment of\u00a0\u00a0the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ in Andalucia.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Easter will soon be upon us and with\u00a0it some incredible religious celebrations, which will be\u00a0taking place across Europe. None could be more incredible than the enactment of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, in the otherwise sleepy Andalucian town of Cuevas del Campo.<\/p>\n

Having been described as being one of the \u201cmost unique religious spectacles in the world\u201d, this annual event sees a crowd of 15,000 plus congregate around a small church, all scuffling for a view. Little noise from the crowd interrupts the dramatic gladiator music, loudly filling the air, intensifying the anticipation and build-up.<\/p>\n

Like the calm before the storm, silence briefly reigns, sharply followed by the galloping of horse hooves. Roman warriors\u2019 then penetrate the scene, their spears and helmets glistening in the sun, their devilish red uniforms contrast with the serene blue sky above. Following the judgement of Jesus, the procession makes its way to the highest point of the town, overlooking the mountainous natural beauty, unique to Andalucia.<\/p>\n

With Jesus hurled onto a cross, the Roman guards then hammer nails into his hands, convincingly looking like they are relishing every moment. The final act of the heart-rending display is the resurrection and Jesus Christ standing high on the hillside, beneath the cross, his arms out-stretched, embracing the thousands of onlookers.<\/p>\n

Since 2001 more than 600 professional actors and villagers have been acted out \u2018Passions of Christ\u2019, showing an extraordinary expression of faith. What makes this religious event particularly vivid and memorable, is the seriousness of both the actors and the crowd. Adults and children of different nationalities watch with such intense sincerity that nobody can afford to take their eyes off the action for a minute. This is partly due to the emotional and realistic performances of the actors, the dramatic music against periods of solemnity and silence, and natural scenes of incredible beauty.<\/p>\n

The town of Cuevas del Campo is located in the north-east of the province of Granada in Andalucia. If you are planning a trip to Andalucia this Easter be sure to take a detour to this usually sleepy, rural village, to witness one of the most striking representations of an event normally kept in the imagination.<\/p>\n
