Holy Week in Montblanc

Montblanc

Montblanc 's Holy Week is one of the oldest celebrations in the area. There is evidence of the existence of the Congregation of the "Puríssima Sang" as early as 1601, an organization that still organizes the festivities today.

The nerve center of Montblanc's Holy Week is the former hospital church of Sant Marçal, where the floats and images that parade in the Good Friday procession are preserved. Most of these images date back to the 20th century, as the earlier ones were destroyed during the war.

One of the most emblematic elements of the celebration are the armed men, the Roman soldiers who guard the Holy Christ. They are notable both for their attire and for the way they parade through the streets and squares of the town.

The Holy Burial Procession on Good Friday is the central event of Holy Week in Montblanc. With more than 400 years of history, it still runs through the same streets it did centuries ago.

The day begins with the traditional Stations of the Cross, which starts at the Church of Santa Maria and continues to the plain of Santa Bárbara. During the day, armed men guard the Holy Christ in the Church of Sant Miquel until nightfall, when the floats and images that will be carried in the evening procession are collected, transporting the town back to its past with a solemn and emotional atmosphere.

Come and enjoy Holy Week in Montblanc!
