It is a pleasure to welcome
you to this webpage, which Mysteries from Olesa Collective has made possible
for Easter.
Christian Communities celebrate the Passion, Death and Christ’s resurrection Mystery; these celebrations are the centre in the liturgical year.
But, besides the Easter celebrations, in our city, a bunch of popular religious pilgrimages called “the Mysteries” are lived. Especially, Good Thursday and Friday Evenings because a series of sculptures (pasos) are exposed in several neighbourhoods; these represent different moments of the Passion and Death of Jesus. Some years ago, many people were afraid of the influence that society and culture passion. Thanks to God, this has not happened in Olesa de Montserrat.
The popular religious processions provoke very strong emotions in the people who attend them, founded bodily in silences, rhythm, music and prayer at the heart of the processions.
These processions, pilgrimages
or images, help everybody remember the most important fact in the Salvation
history. Getting steeped in faith and prayer can help us be better people and,
therefore better Christians. When we
visit these processions, it is precise to pray in harmony with Jesus and with
all the Christian Community indefinitely with all Olesa de Montserrat, who, loyal
to its traditions, has made possible that this nice tradition of “planting” the
Mysteries arrives so far so that they
can be visited by all Olesa de Monserrat citizens and people who visit us these
days.
