AI Summary

long article 6 min

El artículo explora el fenómeno de personas no creyentes que participan activamente en las cofradías y la Semana Santa en Andalucía, España. Se centra en el caso de Bea Cepeda, una escritora atea que, tras experimentar una fuerte emoción al ver la Virgen de la Macarena en 2023, se mudó a Sevilla y se involucró profundamente en la cultura cofrade. El artículo destaca que este fenómeno no es aislado y que muchos andaluces no creyentes participan en la Semana Santa por razones culturales, de identidad y tradición. Un investigador de la UNED, César Rina, explica que la motivación principal es cultural, aunque la forma exterior sea religiosa, y que la realidad del mundo cofrade es diversa.
