The poster announcing the Holy Week of Yecla 2024 is the work of the Granada artist Manuel Prados Guillén. This work is the image of Yeclana Holy Week this year, which is celebrated from March 22 to 31.

This poster represents the three most unique and traditional moments of Holy Week in Yecla. La Cortesía, on the morning of Good Friday. The Holy Burial of Christ, on the night of Good Friday The Meeting on Resurrection morning and the Release of the Devil.

All of this also commemorates the ninety years of the foundation of the Royal Superior Council of Pasionaria Brotherhoods of Yecla, as the organizing entity of the processional parades in our city and maintainer of these traditional celebrations.
