This is the Brotherhood of Jesus and his entrance to Jerusalem, usually known as the Pollinica Brotherhood, and named after the event of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem on a colt, a small donkey. What is special about this event is that it is one of the few processions that leaves and returns during the day, as well as being a <strong>procession for children<\/strong>. As part of the procession, children carry palms and are dressed as Hebrews and pharaohs. It is undoubtedly one of the unmissable events of Holy Week.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Procession_of_the_Captive_Jesus\"><\/span><strong>Procession of the Captive Jesus<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Easter Monday<\/strong> is one of the most important parts of the week: the <strong>procession of the Captive Jesus<\/strong>. Known as The Lord of Malaga, he is not the city\u2019s official patron, but many still show their devotion. Several thousand people from Malaga come every year to accompany him through the streets. Any point on the procession route is a good place to see Captive Jesus, but if you want a really spectacular view, you should go to see it pass over <strong>the Aurora Bridge<\/strong>. This point is special because the wind makes the robe carrying the image flutter as it passes over the bridge.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Student_Brotherhood\"><\/span><strong>Student Brotherhood<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There is also the <strong>Student Brotherhood<\/strong>, which is named for its links it to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uma.es\/\"><strong>University of Malaga<\/strong><\/a>. And this relationship is reinforced every year through an event in the Plaza del Obispo. <em>Gaudeamus Igitur<\/em> is sung by young people as an intimate act that draws in hundreds of people until the square is completely full.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brotherhood_of_Blood\"><\/span><strong>Brotherhood of Blood<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Before the end of our look at Malaga&#8217;s Easter Week, it is worth mentioning the <strong>region\u2019s oldest brotherhood<\/strong>: the Brotherhood of Blood. The beginning of this procession is unforgettable. That&#8217;s why you have to see it setting off from Dos Aceras street. This is a sloping street, which forces them to go uphill, perform a 90 degree manoeuvre without moving from the spot and move downhill to begin their journey. A highly complex manoeuvre that is executed perfectly and can be seen during this week.<\/p>\n<p>Without a doubt, <strong>one of the best places to spend Easter Week is Malaga<\/strong>. Being able to wander the streets and marvel at the city\u2019s most famous processions with amazing imagery, makes Malaga <strong>a great place to visit<\/strong> over the Easter holidays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easter Week is a time of celebration and enjoyment.
