A dozen parishes from the archpriesthood of Granollers will join the Good Friday Via Crucis, an event now in its fourth edition, traversing several emblematic points of the city.

The organization of the event falls to the Sant Esteve parish, which has prepared an itinerary starting at 9:30 AM in front of the Mare de Déu de Montserrat church, popularly known as the Frares. This point will serve as the first station of the procession.
The route will continue along Corró street to the Sants Metges chapel, where the second reflection is scheduled for around 10:00 AM. Subsequently, the third reflection will take place half an hour later on Sant Roc street, in front of the plaque commemorating the old chapel of the saint.
The procession will then proceed to the Santa Esperança street chapel, where the fourth reflection will occur around 10:45 AM. Plaça de la Porxada will be the final station of the Via Crucis, with the solemn reception of the Holy Christ at 11:00 AM. However, the procession will extend to the church square, where the band A.C. Agrupación Musical Ciudad de Teruel will offer the Concert a Llaor de Crist Cruficat at 11:15 AM. To conclude, at 12:00 PM, bells will be rung as a sign of peace and in remembrance of those who suffer.
These events are part of Holy Week in Sant Esteve, which began the previous Saturday with the parish's first Palm Sunday Concert. On Sunday morning, the Church Square hosted the traditional blessing of Palms, with the participation of the Pueri Cantores and the Armats from the same parish. Additionally, solidarity 'ensaïmades' were sold to raise funds for Càritas.
