La Lanzada is a popular religious procession held in Seville, Spain, during Holy Week. The event takes place on Holy Saturday, and features a towering float, or paso, that is carried through the streets by dozens of men. The paso depicts Jesus on the cross, and is adorned with beautiful embroidered fabrics, flowers, and candles.
