Archena Holy Week, declared of Regional Tourist Interest, began its journey Friday from Dolores to the traditional Way of the Cross of Our Lady of Sorrows in the streets of Archena, an act that was born some years ago as a tribute Our Lady of Sorrows (high religious fervor Archena) by all the people Brotherhoods, as a curious fact that the Andersons are members carry over each of the guilds, which are also each its own gown for your Guild or Brotherhood.
Processions continue with Palm Sunday at 10 am, the only procession which is not involved any image or processional throne, and where all the attention it is the priest who represents Christ and the people accompanying him in his entrance triumphantly into Jerusalem with palms and olive branches.
That same Sunday afternoon marks the transfer of the Crucified Christ from the chapel of the Groves to the Parish of Corpus-La Purisima.

On the other hand, this year marks the 50 anniversary of the founding of the Brotherhood of the Holy Christ of Calvary, which is why this year the City Council of Guilds Superior has decided that its owner is the poster image of Easter archenera.
