The people who wear them are based on the people of Nazareth. They wear tall pointy hats that cover their entire face, besides their eyes, to kind of hide their identity. It is unknown where the costume idea originated from, whether it was the Ku Klux Klan or from Semana Santa. The Ku Klux Klan used white costumes as a racial significance, but in Semana Santa they use different colors such as black and blue.
