Easter parades
Easter parades
by Martin the artist » Mon Mar 04, 2024 9:04 am
Here is the programme of events for Semana Santa:-
Palm procession on Sunday 24th March from Rojales health centre over the bridge to the church. Starts around midday.
Monday 25th March procession from church starts 9.30pm with one float.
Wednesday 27th March procession from church starts 9pm with a few floats.
Thursday 28th is the silent procession starts 9.30pm from the church. The whole town is blacked out and the procession is accompanied by drums only whilst a mournful unseen fog horn is blown occasionally. The parade splits in 2 and meets up again in the town centre when Jesus and 2 others are taken up to the crosses and the crucifixion is enacted at midnight. Many towns people then stay there for an all night vigil before returning to Rojales in the morning.
Friday 29th procession starting from church 7pm with all floats participating.
Sunday 31st reenactment of the resurrection in the town centre from 11.30am and exhibition of all the floats in the church square.
Some of the floats are carried & others are wheeled.
The Thursday one is very eerie & moving.
The Friday one is the longest but has all floats of course.
The Sunday reenactment is good starting mournfully & ending with fireworks, tic-a-tape, cheering etc.

We will be in Quesada then so I think we will join the crowds and see what it’s all about.
