OUR HOLY WEEK
The radiance of Holy Week
The beginning of Holy Week sets off the beauty of Badajoz. The city is draped in faith thanks to the members of the catholic brotherhoods who, with the constancy of their centuries-old devotion, offer up the most intimate part of their spirit by participating in processions to teach us about the Passion of Christ and transform our neighbourhoods into the backdrop of a uniquely beautiful spectacle charged with emotion
PROCESSIONS
Palm Sunday
The brotherhood was founded on 1 April 1957 by Mr Francisco Sánchez García, one of the most important figures in the history of Holy Week in our city over the last century
Holy Monday
This brotherhood was founded on 12 October 1693, His Excellency Juan Marín de Rodezno being the Bishop in charge of the diocese of the capital at the time. It represents the guild of commerce, banking, administration and pharmacy. Among its honorary brothers, we note the appointment of the Extremadura XI Mechanized Infantry Brigade of Badajoz
Holy Tuesday
A well-established and beloved brotherhood in Badajoz, as it worships the most revered Christ in the city. In 1774, Pope Clement XIV awarded a papal bull for the figure of Christ of the Thorn, for which a full indulgence could be granted by visiting their church on 4 May
