Penitents dressed as roman soldiers take part to the Good Friday procession by the streets of the Pyrenean village of Bossost. The town of Bossost, located in the north of the Pyrenees mountains at the administrative entity of Val d'Aran, is a small village of 1000 inhabitants that since 1879 carries out the procession of Good Friday during the holy week. It is the only village in the area that has maintained this tradition and during this day the majority of its inhabitants dress as penitents to take to the streets in procession of Christian roots.
