Popayán claims to have the most extensive Semana Santa celebrations of the entire South American continent, and indeed, not only are their processions impressive, the crowd attending is enormous.
The churches were obviously filled with worshippers, but also with statues mounted on platforms that would be used during the Semana Santa processions in the evening. The Semana Santa celebrations of Popayán originated in 1556 (just two decades after the foundation of the White City) and have been held every single year since then. Originally, images taken by the Spanish conquistadores were used, but nowadays, many images are from Ecuador while only some are from Popayán. From Monday to Saturday, processions are held, each different one from the other. They all commemorate the last days of Jesus Christ, culminating in the celebration of the crucifixion on Viernes Santo or Good Friday.
