Worshippers cover the image of the Holy Christ of the Blood with a plastic sheet while it rains, during a procession asking for rain through the streets of downtown Barcelona, Spain, Saturday, March 9, 2024. Preceded by nine days of prayers and emulating a documented historical tradition dating back five hundred years, worshippers requested rain as Catalonia last month declared drought emergency for the area of around 6 million people including the city of Barcelona.
