Thanks for looking, Ric.

I know that the hoods are a bit spooky the first time one sees them,  
which for me was in 2004 in Seville:

But the meaning is altogether benign, as explain to me by a colleague  
in Seville: they cover their faces to symbolize the all are equal  
before God.

Maybe the founders of the KKK had been to Spain and seen Semana Santa  
and decided to appropriate the dress--they considered themselves to  
be good Christians, after all ;-)
