Semana Santa in the Vega Baja 2023
Holy Week is a great religious public manifestation that is deeply rooted in the Vega Baja that can boast of authentic treasures in sculptural groups and processional parades. Next, we propose some of the processions and moments to enjoy these days.
Callosa de Segura offers a colorful liturgical procession on Palm Sunday morning where white palms in different smooth and curly versions are the protagonists. The blessing of the palms takes place in the church of San José and from there the procession goes to the Arciprestal de San Martín.
Holy Week in Guardamar del Segura has an element that sets it apart and distinguishes it: it is the outdoor performances based on passages from the Passion of Christ, which are performed during the processions that take place during that Big Week.
The night of Holy Tuesday is of recollection in Almoradí with the Penitential Procession of the Brotherhood of Silence at 10 pm.
One of the most emotional "encounters" that can be seen during Holy Week in the region is in Cox on the night of Holy Wednesday. At 10 pm the solemn procession of the Royal Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno and the Brotherhood of San Juan and La Dolorosa takes place. The procession starts at the church and goes through several streets until it reaches the Glorieta which, when the brotherhoods enter, remains in the dark for the meeting between Our Father Jesus carried on shoulders and His Blessed Mother together with the disciple John, both under a canopy, carried by costaleros in the Sevillian style and leaning to later do the "levantá".
Great fervor is lived in Rojales on Holy Thursday from 10 pm with the procession of Silence organized by the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of the Good Death and the Holy Crucifixion on Mount Calvary and the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows and Saint Juan de la Palma.
Good Friday is synonymous with Songs of the Passion in Catral. At five o'clock in the morning these ancestral songs begin to sound accompanied by unique two-meter-long trumpets, mounted on two wheeled carts. They are short melodies with verses alluding to The Passion.
The procession of the Holy Burial of Christ in Orihuela has unique singularities such as the figure of the Covered Knight and the exit from the "El Triunfo de la Cruz" pass, better known as "La Diablesa".
The commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is lived with great joy in Rafal with La Graná, emblem and sign of identity of Easter in Rafal.
