get religious festivals where sinners take part in processions to repent - their outfits are a bit jazzier than the KKK

When I was in Spain
I wanted to buy a little figurine of one of those dudes but my dippy GF wouldn't let me, cos they looked too much like KKK. Oh well, another time maybe

I saw one of their parades at Easter in Malaga once.
All the hooded men carrying a statue of the Virgin around, and women wailing. Very dark ages I must say.
