La Semana Santa de Sevilla 2015 en Instagram.
“It is said that five, or ten or fifteen thousand people in Sevilla, piled randomly anywhere in the city, organize their bodily movements automatically and unwritten, as if conform One Being”. Thus defined the traditionl ‘bulla’ the journalist Jorge Molina in his book ‘123 reasons not to travel to Sevilla’, something so traditional in Sevilla and Easter. Well, the ‘bulla’ is now also online.
Easter has taken the social networks. The Madrugá, or #Madruga2015 as a trending topic, has confirmed the intense activity of brothers and brotherhoods in Twitter. Other hashtags are in Good Friday are – El Silencio, Tres Caídas, #ViernesSanto, Calvario, Esperanza de Triana, María Santísima de la Amargura, La Macarena, Macarena, Gran Poder, Señor de la Salud, Silencio, Basílica, El Señor de la Salud, Señor de Sevilla, El Gran Poder, Jesús Nazareno, El Señor de Sevilla and Orfila.
During the week of Passion, photos and comments related to the seasons of penance have gained huge prominence among the city customary hashtags on Twitter and Instagram. For example in Instagram, penitents, ‘pasos’ and traditional blankets predominate among the 1.24 million total photos with the hashtag #sevilla and 54,000 with #sevillahoy.
Specifically, #SSantaSevilla15 registered:
– Over 1,523 photos on Instagram, according to Iconosquare,
– 21,575 tweets in the last month (until 3 April at 13:05), according Hashtracking.com,

It was called to be the Holy Week of selfie sticks, but with or without them social networks have allowed us to share immediately everything on during these days. An increasingly less intimate and more social Easter.
