Summary

In Easter in Puente Genil (Córdoba) some 325 "biblical figures" parade, and their attire is made up of the "saints´ he address, the garments and the "martyrdom". They represent characters from the Old and New Testaments, grouped in "Corporations" that were described in 1950, by Julio Caro Baroja, after much evolution. Now they are civic and religious associations, for men only, which are governed by strict statutes, and the headquarters of which are called "barracks".
