In the charming colonial streets of Pamplona, in the heart of Norte de Santander, Holy Week awakens with a special glow. This festivity, declared a cultural and intangible heritage of humanity, permeates the city with an atmosphere of devotion, fervor and mystery.

Since ancient times, Holy Week has been a highlight in the calendar, where religious traditions are intertwined with the cultural richness of the region.

The history of Holy Week dates back to the first centuries of Christianity, when this celebration began to take root in local traditions. This sacred period commemorates the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and in Pamplona, each ceremony and procession takes on a unique and profound meaning. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, the streets come alive with colorful parades, sacred music and fervent prayers, as the faithful relive Christ's steps to Calvary.
