... If someone who doesn't know anything about the Semana Santa in Spain sees this picture, there is only one reaction to be expected: "Ku Klux Klan??"
It is a very unfortunate confusion of the imagery. Some people are interested in how the KKK came to use these costumes, so we decided to write a word on that.
It appears that there is no connection whatsoever. The KKK were not in any way affiliated to the Nazareno tradition of Roman Catholic, which has used this costume for many centuries. The costume itself does not carry any message.
They chose it simply for the visual effect. Apart from having a Christian connotation and white colour symbolising white race, the costume makes a ghost-like figure and provides disguise, which is exactly how the KKK wanted to appear. It is possible that some of the more imaginative and intellectual members of the Klan (without pointing fingers), familiar with Easter celebrations in Spain, were inspired by the image this costume would create and suggested it to the Klan's more moronic members.
The origins of the pointed hat in Spanish tradition are unknown, but the face is covered as a sign of mourning for the death of Christ.
On Easter Sunday the hats are taken off in the jubilation for the resurrection of Jesus...�
For me, who has grown up deeply connected to Spanish culture and their festivites, the people "with the KKK hats" are not scary at all. And in fact I had known about them long before I ever heard of the KKK. But every foreigner who sees them is extremely scared and/or offended, and cannot understand their raison d'etre.
Chinchilla de Monte-Aragon, more commonly just Chinchilla, is a municipality in the province of Albacete in Castile-La Mancha, (Spain) in the region of La Mancha Montearagon.
