That is the norm here in Spain during Semana Santa (Holy Week); we have processions where members of diverse confraternities dress up similarly and carry large floats.

Coming to Spain during Easter just for these processions is worth it, imho 🙂

Now, before anyone says it, yes, I know, they bear an unfortunate resemblance to certain hate groups. But this has been a thing in Spain for way longer than that group has even existed. 😃
 
Such would be an ancient brotherhood (confraternity) in relation to the Order of the Most Holy Trinity and of the Captives.

They have been involved over the centuries in the work of ransoming Christian Captives from the Muslims…gathering alms for such and praying etc.

The clothing there would worn during processions not in life…
