During this Holy Week 2024, the 181st representation of the Passion of Christ is celebrated in Iztapalapa, which is considered Intangible Heritage of Mexico by UNESCO. In case you want to see the procession without leaving your house, here we tell you where you can see it.
According to the Cultural Information System of the Ministry of Culture, the Passion of Christ began in 1833 as a promise made to the Lord of La Cuevita, who was asked to end the Cholera Morbus epidemic that hit the Basin of Mexico. . If the epidemic ended, they would celebrate a procession year after year, as thanks.
The cholera epidemic ended in 1848; However, since 1843 deaths in the mayor’s office have decreased, so in gratitude, the eight neighborhoods of Izapalapa organized to fulfill their promise.
In case you do not want to miss the 181st performance but cannot attend Iztapalapa, the Organizing Committee of Holy Week in Iztapalapa (COSSIAC), in charge of the tradition, has various official channels so that you can follow the transmission closely.
