Good Friday

featured in Events calendar Updated

A re-enactment of the Passion of Christ will take place on the steps of Palma Cathedral arpund 12 noon. In the evening of Good Friday (around 7.30pm), to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ many Mallorcan churches enact scenes from the Passion - the crucifixion, death and Jesus' descent from the Cross, when he is placed in his mother's arms to be carried to his tombs.

These Descents are very popular and in Sant Llorenc it is performed by a young people's theatre group. In Porto Pollenca, there is a celebration known as Davallament and in Porto Criso, a procession called The Encounter is held to symbolise the rejoining of Mary to her risen son, Jesus.

Check local press or the local tourist office for details of the celebrations in your area.
