Holy Week in Sepúlveda

Sepúlveda shines during Holy Week, blending its rich history, unique architecture, and deep devotion. It is home to Segovia’s oldest church, El Salvador, and other iconic temples like Santos Justo y Pastor and the Sanctuary of the Virgin de la Peña. Its deeply moving processions include La Borriquilla (revived in 2008), which kicks off the week, and the Holy Thursday procession, featuring notable carvings like the 17th-century Pietà. The Way of the Cross, the solemn Silent Procession on Good Friday, with its candlelit ambiance and hushed reverence, and the vibrant Encounter Procession on Easter Sunday, where the removal of the Virgin’s black veil marks a joyous moment, make Sepúlveda an unforgettable destination.
