The Capirote which is what those hoods are. Is a Hat primarily used by Catholic Priests and Clergy whether it be Monks or Nuns in Spain and some former Spanish Colonies. Sometimes laypeople will wear them if they are assisting in celebrations.
I’d hazard a guess it’s just an out context clip of some sort of Spanish Catholic religious parade. While simultaneously rehashing an age old complaint of Protestants accusing the Catholic Church of Idolatry and Paganism over the obsession with the Virgin Mary and the Catholic tendency towards making Statues of both Mary and other Saints. Not to mention the ceremony and parades far more typical of Old World Spanish/Mediterranean Catholic celebrations
Thanks for the information!
If I were black I’d run 😂
Hahahaha!😂😂😂
I think it's Semana Santa in Spain:

Thanks!
I duno. Almost looks like a democrat rally with some dudes who are too uncoordinated to even hit a drum on tempo; white guys with no rhythm.
The Klu Klux Klan?
I’d imagine the largely Protestant klan wouldn’t be particularly fond of them.
Considering that’s a bunch of Spanish speaking Catholics in Capirotes. Which is headware largely unique to Catholic Spain and former Spanish Colonies.
I thought that at first lol.

Anyone know what type of hook is on the end of the poles? It’s a U shape. I’m thinking something to do with wildlife or farming, not sure. Anyway it looks like a tool that’s been used for centuries.
Also what’s the emblem on the hoods. In the video I see a person (holding same pole with the round symbol) to the left/front of the thing they are carrying.
Slavic peoples were pagans before to accepting Christianity. Orthodox religion has some paganism elements. You can't erase centuries prior civilization
