The good thing about being old enough is that you've had enough time to pass through various stages in life's journey.

| BENDITO CRISTO DE LOS AFLIGIDOS Talla de madera policromada de la Escuela de Gregorio Fernández, siglo XVII |
In my adolescence and youth I asked myself if what we did during Holy Week was correct thing. It seemed to me that we dedicated a lot of attention to the tragic death of Jesus and little to his glorious resurrection. It almost seemed to me that the only important thing was the Resurrection. "If Christ has not been raised, then empty (too) is our preaching; empty, too, your faith (1 Cor 15, 14)" I didn't like the processions because it didn't seem right to me to make a spectacle out of the recreation of the events that led Jesus to his death on the cross.
