The Reial Congregació de la Puríssima Sang de Reus has scheduled a series of religious and traditional events in Reus starting this March 22 to mark Holy Week.

Archbishop Joan Planellas will preside over the main Sunday service at 10:00 AM, joined by the congregation's prefect, Joaquim Fortuny i Vizcarro. This event serves as a spiritual prelude to the most significant days of the local religious calendar.
The afternoon schedule features the solemn Way of the Cross with the image of Sant Crist de la Sang at 6:45 PM. Following the procession, a memorial mass for deceased members will be held at 7:30 PM, led by Mn. Fortuny to honor the congregation's heritage.
On Monday, March 23, the focus shifts to the Anquin's Art Gallery for the unveiling of the Paschal Candle. This year's candle features original artwork by Montse Pelejà Vidal, blending religious tradition with contemporary local art.
