Semana Santa en La Laguna
The celebration of Semana Santa en La Laguna is one of the Archipelago's most traditional religious and cultural manifestations. Across several days, visitors have the opportunity to appreciate the rich and varied religious heritage the City possesses. During Semana Santa, processions formed by pasos of incalculable historical and artistic value take place, which together with the cofradías traverse the most emblematic streets in a display of authentic popular fervor. These pasos are examples of the imaginería and orfebrería that developed in the Islands and beyond over the last five centuries. Special significance attaches to the acts celebrated on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Maundy Thursday, it is worth noting the opening of the chapels of the temples in order to show the Eucharistic monuments, true jewels of island goldsmithing. Good Friday is notable for the Procesión Magna, which takes place at five in the afternoon, and comprises the set of pasos and cofradías that traverse the City starting from the Santa Iglesia Catedral. Likewise, at twenty-two hours the Procesión del Silencio is held, which brings together the penitential brotherhoods and cofradías accompanying the Dead Lord, also from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, amid the attendees' deep reverence.
- 17:00 Procesión Magna — route from the Santa Iglesia Catedral, with the pasos and cofradías that traverse the city from the Santa Iglesia Catedral.
- 22:00 Procesión del Silencio — from the Santa Iglesia Catedral to the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, accompanying the Dead Lord, amid the attendees' deep reverence.
