Processions of hooded Nazarenes through the streets of Spanish cities have been marred this year by a distinct absence of Christian goodwill.
A mother took her ex-husband to court to force him to allow their 10-year-old son to attend the children's Nazarene procession in Elche, southeast Spain, today.
During the first part of the Easter holidays the father had custody over the boy, but his mother wanted to ensure that her son attended the procession of the Brotherhood of the Denial of St Paul. The father had agreed to swap custody and let his ex-wife look after their son - then changed his mind at the last minute. The infuriated mother launched legal action to make sure she got her way.

Ever heard of a canine living on clothes? Meet Bailey. Appears weird, but the golden retriever has been eating garments for years.
Bailey's peculiar eating habits were revealed when vets who operated on the dog expecting to find a tumour pulled out enough clothes to fill a washing line- two golf gloves, two rugby gloves, one mitten, one stocking and nine socks.
"It is amazing that he was not more unwell or sick but was still eating his food. This huge mass in his abdomen was picked up on a routine check-up for his epilepsy.
"Vets obviously do a fair number of foreign object removals but I doubt I will ever see anything like this again in my career. Even for us, from a vet's point of view, it was pretty amazing.
