I'm not exactly sure of the true significance of Las Cruces de Mayo, but from what I was able to gather it's basically a religious celebration that's a fund raiser for Semana Santa. If I understood correctly, the cofradías, or different groups that sponsor the pasos during Semana Santa hold dinners and events downtown during the first week or two of May in order to raise money for their Semana Santa festivities.At school, the preschool moms and dads planned a little part for Friday, May 4th. Basically all it was was a bunch of food and drink and kids running around dressed up in the typical Sevillana costume for the last two hours of the day. The three girls pictured above definitely get the award for best dressed!
