| Summary: | At the beginning of the Second Spanish Republic, in April 1931, the public celebrations of Holy Week had become one of the main landmarks of the festive calendar in many Spanish cities, especially in Seville, which had integrated the processions as identity and historicist forms with the ability to attract tourists, but also to vertebrate urban associations. In this context, the Catholic Church launched an offensive to reorient the religiosity and political profile of these celebrations. At the same time, intellectuals, artists and republican and leftist leaders approached these celebrations as "pure" manifestations of a people who interpreted in freedom and without Catholic guidelines their notion of the sacred, thus creating an alternative to the ecclesiastical doctrine. Both conceptions maintained intense disputes during the democratic period of the Second Republic. In this article we analyze how the republican governments and left-wing associations approached these celebrations as festive expressions whose forms and meanings transcended Catholicism and, therefore, were compatible with secular legislation. |
