Castellón's Holy Week reached its peak with the celebration of the Holy Burial procession, one of the city's most crowded events. This tradition saw the active participation of the four local brotherhoods: the Most Illustrious Brotherhood of the Blood of Jesus, the Brotherhood of Peace and Charity, the Brotherhood of Santa María Magdalena, and the Christ of Medinaceli.
This year, councilor Vicent Sales served as the Elder Brother of the latter brotherhood, in an event that, once again, filled the city center streets with thousands of people, solidifying its place as one of the most anticipated moments of the celebration.
“"Castellón's Holy Week is a unique opportunity to contemplate the rich heritage of images that our city treasures, thanks to the work of the brotherhoods who selflessly work throughout the year to safeguard and keep our traditions alive. Our festival, declared of Provincial Tourist Interest, is a moment to relive history, and in turn promote culture to attract residents and visitors to enjoy all the attractions of our city."
The mayor of Castellón de la Plana, Begoña Carrasco, participated in the procession accompanied by several councilors from the City Council, thus demonstrating institutional support for Holy Week, which has been declared of Provincial Tourist Interest. The mayor also highlighted the coordination of the Local Holy Week Board, essential for the smooth development of the scheduled events.
After the transfer of the processional floats from the churches where they are kept, the procession began its route in the Plaza Mayor, passing through emblematic streets such as Colón, Enmedio, Puerta del Sol, Gasset, and Mayor, until reaching the chapel of the Purísima Sangre. This event underscores the importance of tradition, culture, and tourism as pillars of Castellón's Holy Week, revitalizing the local economy and attracting visitors.
