[edit] Needs a lot of work

It's not only the translation, which is awful, the article is almost ininiteligible for non-spaniards (and even for many of them). I'll try to bring it in better shape, but any help would be welcome (I have a lot of doubts on correct english translation of many specialized terms) --Wllacer 12:08, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree - the English is awful, but I'm grateful to those who've at least tried to contribute. Keep it up please. At the moment some sections of the article could be taken directly to Uncyclopedia... hilarious stuff! - 62.158.100.179 16:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Pasos", gilded and silver plated

I wasn't planning to touch the article until next week, but today was free; bad weather has left all the processions home -I'll have to add this particular into the article-; so I made a couple of small changes everywhere. A correction from User:Inkiness has caught my eye, but i hestitate to undo or rewrite (for now) While there is some variations for Christ or Mistery floats (some mahogany, most fully gilded, and even one wood with some silver -can't remember exactly which, except it was a brotherhood de negro (black dressed, extremely serious)- If I can recall , ALL Virgin floats are silver plated, even the new brotherhood. At least one is partly gilded (La Lanzada, i had the chance to view it with great detail in its church). Anybody has more details/ info ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wllacer (talk • contribs) 00:37, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

The original statement which sparked the above comment was (emphasis mine):

The structure of the paso is richly carved and decorated with fabric, flowers and candles. Many of the structures carrying the image of Christ are gilded, and those carrying the image of the virgin often silver-plated

There is only a clear exception: The structure for the V. Loreto of the San Isidoro brotherhood is fully gilded (on a silver surface ?). On the other hand the structure for the Christ of Pasion is entirely silver plated. As usual, every rule has its exception. --Wllacer (talk) 10:21, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
