People perform the crucifixion during a rehearsal of the reenactment of Christ's suffering on March 25, 2016 in Hiendelaencina, Spain. Since 1972, the 140 village's residents celebrate every year on Good Friday a reenactment of Christ's suffering before being nailed to the cross. Hiendelaencina's inhabitants use their own funds to make the stages and wardrobe. Spain celebrates holy week before Easter with processions in most Spanish towns and villages.
