Explaining the religious period to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, Margarita Torres Sevilla, a professor of medieval history at the University of León, said: “It’s an expression here. For example, you tell me, ‘Have a drink with me? Okay, let’s go kill Jews.’
According to Torres Sevilla, people who take part in Holy Week might ask “How many Jews have you killed? Three, four, five” in reference to the number of drinks they have had.
The festival period is marked by 10 days of music, sermons and as many as 30 processions, featuring some 16,000 participants.
