Sagrada Família is Passion - Sagrada Família is Passion

For Easter Week, the Sagrada Família has put together a programme of religious, cultural and popular events to share this liturgical season with the public. The programme will include the traditional Easter Concert, a family workshop and religious services for Palm Sunday mass, Paschal Triduum and Via Crucis. People will also get to enjoy special illuminations on the Passion façade.

Easter workshop: discovery game with the sounds of the Basilica

To share the meaning of Easter with the little ones in a fun way, we will be hosting Easter family workshops from 5 to 21 April. The workshop includes a fun tour of the Temple with a discovery game called “Search for the lost sounds” that will draw the kids’ attention to the sounds of the Basilica, imagining how certain scenes or themes would sound, such as the Crèche scenes, the organ music in the naves and the sounds of nature associated with the forest of columns. On the Passion façade, which tells the story of the Passion and death of Jesus, they will learn about the lost tradition of making noise to ward off evil. To finish off the session, they will decorate a traditional ratchet to take home as a souvenir.

The activity is designed for kids aged 6 to 12. It costs €9 per adult or child over 6 years old. More information on the workshop here.

Draw to win one of 400 tickets for two to the Easter Concert featuring Orfeón Pamplonés

The Easter Concert will take place on Saturday 5 April at 7:00 pm, featuring Orfeón Pamplonés. Founded in Pamplona in 1865, it is one of the oldest symphonic choirs in Europe. Conducted by Igor Ijurra and accompanied by Oscar Candendo on the organ, the group will perform a repertoire focusing on the religious moments of Easter Week.

To include residents in this experience, the Sagrada Família is holding a draw to give out 400 tickets for two for the concert. Anyone interested can enter the draw using the form on the Sagrada Família HERE from 10:00 am on 24 March to 9:00 pm on 30 March. The draw will be held on 31 March and the list of winners will be posted on the website.

Illumination of the Passion façade

On 13, 14 and 15 April from 9:00 pm, the Passion façade will be lit up in a unique musical light show with texts by Mons. David Abadías, Auxiliary Bishop of Barcelona.

 There will be two sessions a day, each lasting 20 minutes. The first will be at 9:00 pm and the second at 9:30 pm, alternating between Catalan and Spanish. It is free and open to all.

The Basilica will host the religious services for Palm Sunday mass, the Paschal Triduum and the Via Crucis. More information on sagradafamilia.org/en/easter.
