Everyone can take part as a Nazarene; you only have to wear a brown tunic and a crown of thorns with yellow flowers. Everyone\'s responsible for getting the Nazarene costume and the cross to carry along the route, through the streets of Iztapalapa. All the Nazarenes are men, of different ages, from boys to old people, and they do it as an offering to God, or to keep a promise they have made to God.

purple robe

Hola Nitza,
El Simon & Schuster's dice que un "nazareno" puede ser "a penitent dressed in a purple robe in Holy Week processions".
Tal vez a eso se refiere el traje del Ángel.
Buena suerte y saludos del Oso ¶:^)
