After two years of pause in the processions and activities of the Holy Week on Pereirathis year all the celebrations will be held again, as revealed by the mayor of the city, Carlos Maya.
“As a result of the progress in the vaccination process and social, economic and productive recovery in the city of Pereira, we have decided to reactivate Holy Week as an alternative to encounter God and also to promote tourism and generate more employment,” said Maya.
The live processions and other liturgical celebrations that take place in the city are recognized in the country and have become one of the tourist attractions of Pereira.
“The pandemic took away many things from us, including loved ones, some customs and moments to share with others such as Easter. This process, added to the elimination of the mask in public spaces thanks to the vaccination process, will guarantee that normalization of the social, economic and productive life of all Pereirans,” said the president.
Hence, the Mayor’s Office of Pereira announced that it will join efforts to celebrate the religious acts of the Holy Week between April 10 and 16.
For his part, the Bishop of the Diocese of Pereira, Monsignor Rigoberto Corredor, confirmed that the events will return to face-to-face events. However, “it will be ensured that biosecurity care is maintained in closed sites.”
Corredor pointed out that the lyrical balconies and 14 concerts will return in various parishes in the city. In addition, it was learned that the bishop will be directing all the celebrations of the Holy Week.
