Spain is known for its Holy Week (Semana Santa) traditions. A common feature is the use of the nazareno or penitential robe for some of the participants in the processions. This garment consists of a tunic, a hood with conical tip (capirote) used to conceal the face of the wearer, and sometimes a cloak.
