Holy Thursday 2026: The Silence and the Light of Solitude

 Holy Thursday night in Murcia is synonymous with contemplation. This procession of the Holy Christ of Refuge, or of Solitude, stands out for its austerity and mysticism. The only sounds are the muted roll of the drum and the choral singing in the darkness, creating an atmosphere that moves locals and visitors alike.

It is a moment of silent devotion, where the image of the Crucified Christ advances illuminated only by the soft light of the torches and the glow of the red flowers that surround him.
