On Easter Sunday morning, the men don traditional black frock coats and top hats . Young men participating for the first time wear a small green myrtle wreath; those celebrating 25 or 50 years wear silver or gold wreaths.
The procession begins at the parish church, where the priest blesses the riders and hands over the church flags, a crucifix, and a statue of the risen Christ .
On Holy Saturday, riders meticulously groom their horses, braiding manes and tails with colorful ribbons.
