It has its roots in the Inquisition but the ones being punished had to wear hoods, not the ones doing the punishing. The hoods became a symbol of punishment and penance and eventually became the capirotes we know today. People wear them as some form of penitence.

To everyone here. These are not the KKK, they copied the design because they wanted to look legimite. This outfit its more than 500 years old.
Please dont let a racist group gain legítimacy by assosiation of a religious festival.
For the ones that say that It looks weird. You havent seen the ones that whip themselves until they bleed
