English College, Valladolid

The Royal English College (Spanish: Real Colegio de Ingleses) is a Catholic Seminary located in Valladolid, Spain, for the training of priests in England and Wales.

Men of varying ages and backgrounds spend an introductory year in Valladolid to discern their vocation and begin spiritual and human formation for Catholic priesthood.

After their year in Valladolid, students typically proceed to seminaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland or to Rome.

The priests and seminarians of the English College in Valladolid asked the Countess if they might make reparation for the behaviour of their fellow countrymen who had desecrated the statue.

Every year during Holy Week the statue is processed along the street, where it is met by a huge paso or float, which has a large depiction of the Crucified Christ resting on top of it.
