Holy Week in Quito

Holy Week in Quito is unique. Its Historic Downtown has an atmosphere of celebration, of mourning, of devotion, of
faith and commemoration of Jesus. Rituals, processions and traditions take the streets of the capital during a week of
events.

Holy Friday

Every year, the procession “Jesus del Gran Poder” or “Jesus of the Great Power” takes the historic downtown. On
Friday April 19, a conglomeration of thousands of people floods the streets of Quito. While Jesus is the main character
of the parade, on this particular day you will encounter some of the most emblematic characters of Holy Week in
Ecuador: the Cucurucho. With purple robe s and purple cone-like hats “cucuruchos” represent penance- and the
people under the robes, interpreting the character, seek divine forgiveness. Another character you’ll encounter is the
“veronica.” Veronica is the woman who cleaned Jesus’ face during the Via Crucis, where his image was preserved.  
Veronica usually wear purple shawls or head scarves and join along with religious chants. There are other devotees
who carry heavy wooden crosses to demonstrate compassion, and even though the numbers and the severeness have
reduced, there are some who even flagellate themselves in the procession.
