The Consell de Mallorca kicks off the Easter Week 2025 programme: exhibitions, concerts and conferences for all audiences until 22nd May

According to the president of the Consell de Mallorca, Llorenç Galmés, ‘this is the starting point of a rich and diverse programme for Easter Week, which has just begun and will continue until May, with the main aim of promoting and highlighting the island’s cultural heritage’.

Galmés pointed out that the Easter Week programme includes two key moments: the performance on Maundy Thursday of the Joch de Ministrils, after its recovery, in the traditional procession of Sant Crist de la Sang, and the performance of the Stations of the Cross, on 11th April at 8 p.m., in the parish church of Santa Maria de Sineu, by the Agrupació Campanera Pinyol Vermell (Bell Ringers’ Group). The president also pointed out that ‘these cultural events reaffirm the Consell de Mallorca’s commitment to promoting and disseminating the island’s heritage, offering activities that connect tradition with the present and providing culture for everyone’.
