Cristo del Amor Procession 2026 in Marbella

The Procession of Christ of Love 2026 in Marbella is one of the major events of Holy Thursday during Marbella's Holy Week. The Royal, Ancient and Most Excellent Brotherhood and Fraternity of Nazarenes of the Most Holy Christ of Love, Mary Most Holy of Charity, and Saint John the Evangelist will set out on April 2nd at 8:15 PM from the Hermitage of Santiago, in Plaza de los Naranjos, with a route through the historic center and passing some of the city's most recognizable streets. Although the event title centers on the Christ of Love, the procession includes three floats: Most Holy Christ of Love, Saint John the Evangelist, and Mary Most Holy of Charity. The procession stands out for its strong heritage value, the participation of Nazarenes, mantillas, and bearers, and the musical accompaniment of the Squadron and Band of the Brotherhood of Former Legionnaire Knights of Torremolinos, the Musical Group of Marbella, and the Cultural Musical Association La Lira de Iznájar. Among the highlights are the departure from its hermitage, the passage through the corner of Chorrón and Lobatas, the stretch over Puente de Málaga, the silent and sensory-accessible passage by Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente, and the enclosure in the Hermitage of Santiago. It is one of the must-see processions for those looking for things to see in Marbella during Holy Week and one of the most symbolic routes of Holy Thursday.
