Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno Procession 2026 in Marbella

The 2026 procession of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno is one of the major events of Holy Wednesday in Marbella. The Royal, Illustrious, Venerable, and Ancient Sacramental Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, María Santísima del Mayor Dolor, and Santo Sepulcro will set out on April 1st at 8:30 PM from the Parish of Nuestra Señora de la Encarnación, passing through the historic center and some of the city's most recognizable streets. The procession will feature two floats: Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, accompanied by a band of cornet players and drummers, and María Santísima del Mayor Dolor, accompanied by a music band. The procession stands out for its strong historical roots in Marbella, the participation of nazarenos, mantillas, and bearers, and the devotional significance of one of the city’s oldest brotherhoods. Among the highlights are the passage through the avenue of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, the meeting of the floats at points like Chorrón and Portada, the request for permission on Calle Arte, and the shower of rose petals for María Santísima del Mayor Dolor on Trinidad Street during the return. It is one of the must-see processions for those looking for what to see during Holy Week in Marbella and one of the most traditional routes in the local cofrade calendar.
