Good Friday traditions at Easter
Date: Saturday, April 15
Topic: Events
San Miguel de Allende's Easter traditions have been preserved by its inhabitants for centuries, and perhaps no other sacred celebration in the city contains such a magical mixture of joy and solemnity. Although it is a season for prayer and meditation, Easter attracts thousands of tourists, Mexicans and foreigners, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, to San Miguel.
During Holy Week, several religious processions take place around town, and the streets are bedecked in purple and white, the traditional colors symbolic of mourning and purity.
