The city of Reus has been selected to host the 12th Congress of Holy Week Brotherhoods of Catalonia, scheduled to take place from May 29 to 31.

This biennial gathering returns to the capital of Baix Camp seventeen years after its last edition in the city in 2009. Under the slogan The Passion that unites us, the congress aims to reflect on the present and future of religious traditions and cultural heritage across Catalonia.
The official logo, created by Ramón Pérez, features the Rose of Reus and the city's iconic Bell Tower. City Promotion Councilor Noemí Llauradó emphasized that Reus is the ideal setting for this event, following the recent 75th anniversary of the local Holy Week Association.

"Our goal is to offer a global and constructive vision, debating how to adapt to new times without losing our essence."

Jaume Piñol · President of the Reus Holy Week Associations Group
Supported by the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Tarragona Provincial Council, the congress will focus on three pillars: religious devotion, territorial unity, and fostering fraternity in a fragmented world.
