In Santa Maria da Feira, the recreation of the Via Crucis was the highlight of Holy Week. The city’s streets were transformed into a stage of faith and tradition, which mobilized thousands of people.
The court’s stairs go back two thousand years and gave way to Pilate’s praetorium, where the sentence is passed.
Between the noise of the crowd and the silence of the defendant, Santa Maria da Feira relived the last hours of Christ.
Through the city streets, thousands of people follow the route to Calvary, a path of physical effort, falls but, above all, of faith.
The city’s heritage forms the final framework and next to the castle the crucifixion is recreated.
