| The collaboration between the Murcia City Council and the Cabildo Superior de Cofradías has allowed the development of a special program | Collaboration between the Murcia City Council, through the Department of Culture and Recovery of Heritage, and the Superior Council of Brotherhoods, has made it possible to develop a special program for the next Holy Week. The Councilor for Culture and Recovery of Heritage, Jesús Pacheco, explained that "Murcia will live its second consecutive year without processional parades, but for that reason we will not stop living these days of Passion Week in a special way.
We know that it is very difficult to fill the gap left by the processions, but from the City Council and the Cabildo de Cofradías we have prepared with love and effort a different program that allows us to feel this celebration and maintain the significance of our Holy Week ". Thus, in the Paseo Alfonso X el Sabio and the building annexed to the Town Hall, different processional marches will resound, from Dolores Friday until Easter Sunday. The music can be heard through the piped music from 5 to 7 pm, from Dolores Friday to Holy Wednesday; from 12 to 14 hours and from 17 to 19 hours, from Holy Thursday to Holy Saturday, and from 12 to 14 hours on Easter Sunday. Likewise, different emblematic spaces of the city, such as the Almudí Palace, the river, the bridges and walkways, the Alfonso X avenue and the building annexed to the Town Hall will be illuminated with the colors of the main Guild of each day. Another of the proposed activities is the exhibition of photographs in the Plaza de San Agustín and the installation of banners on the streetlights in its vicinity in which previous editions of the Good Friday procession of the Royal and Very Illustrious Brotherhood of Our Father will be remembered.
Jesus Nazareno.
The exhibition can be visited from Friday, March 26 to Sunday, April 4.
