Tour to the 7 temples
a tradition of Spanish origin that
has become part of the main
activities of Holy Week. Durango,
a city full of traditions, in this
annual commemoration seeks to
reflect the Passion, Death and
Resurrection of Christ.
Holy Week is rich in
representations alluding to the
passages that Jesus of Nazareth
lived before being Crucified. It
begins on Palm Sunday and ends
on Easter Sunday. The most
important days of Holy Week are
those formed by the so-called
Easter Triduum: Holy Thursday
and Good Friday,
commemorating the death of
Christ; Holy Saturday, Christ in
the tomb, and Easter Sunday of
the Resurrection.
On Holy Thursday begins the visit
of the 7 Temples. The route
symbolizes the passage of Jesus
beginning in the Upper Room to
the Garden of Gethsemane.
From there he continued to the
house of Annas; where he was
interrogated and received a cruel
slap. Then in Caiaphas, where he
was spat on and suffered serious
injuries. Then he arrived with the
Roman Governor Pontius Pilate,
where he was accused by the
Jews with false testimonies.
Punished was taken to the palace
of King Herod, where he was
wronged by him and all his
soldiers.
