Palm Sunday is characterized by the blessing of olive branches and 'palmones' (intricately woven palm branches), the latter crafted with traditional artistry. Additionally, the 'borriquilla' procession, one of the most attended, will parade through the town's streets. Holy Week, whose date varies each year according to the lunar calendar, will culminate on Monday, April 6, with Easter Monday.
At Sant Martí parish, several masses are scheduled throughout the day: at 9:00, 11:30, 13:00, and 19:30. The main Palm Sunday procession will begin at 11:00 from Abat Oliba Square and proceed along Passeig Cordelles, Sant Martí Street, Sant Ramon, and Joan Pau II Square. During the route, it is common to see families raising their branches and palmones as a symbolic gesture of blessing.
The Holy Week program will continue on Wednesday, April 1, with the procession of Jesús Captiu (Captive Jesus), departing from Sant Martí at 19:00. This procession is notable for the image carried on the shoulders of 'costaleros' (bearers), who make strategic stops to reorganize their pace through the city center streets.
Good Friday, April 3, will host the most significant events. In the morning, at 10:00, the Via Crucis will connect the parishes of Sant Martí and Mare de Déu del Roser, starting from the latter. In the afternoon, at 17:30, the central procession will take place with the images of Jesús Nazareno, the Virgin of Sorrows, and Saint John the Evangelist, departing from Abat Oliba Square. This procession is characterized by its slow and coordinated advance, with 'costaleros' and 'madrinas' (godmothers) taking turns to carry the images. The 'women in black' lead the procession of the Dolorosa, setting the pace for the entourage. The culmination occurs when the images meet at a point in Abat Oliba Square, where the bearers perform ritual dances before concluding the event.
