It is celebrated in the week leading up toEaster (Holy Week among Christians), and is one of the best known religious events withinGalicia. As a reflection of its importance, is also considered as aFiesta of International Tourist Interest of Spain since 2013.[1]
This week features theprocession ofpasos, floats of lifelike woodensculptures of individual scenes of the events ofthe Passion, or images of theVirgin Mary showing restrained grief for the torture and killing of her son. Some of the sculptures are of great antiquity and are considered artistic masterpieces, as well as being culturally and spiritually important to the local Catholic population.
During Holy Week, the city is crowded with residents and visitors, drawn by the spectacle and atmosphere. The impact is particularly strong for theCatholic community. The processions are organised byhermandades andcofradías, religious brotherhoods. During the processions, members precede thepasos, dressed in penitential robes. They may also be accompanied bybrass bands.
The processions work along a designated route from their home churches and chapels, usually via a central viewing area and back. As of 2011, a total of 15 processions are scheduled for the week, from the previous Friday toPalm Sunday through toEaster Sunday afternoon.
