Portugal's Holy Week immerses visitors in solemn processions, candlelit rituals, and joyous Easter Sunday celebrations, especially from March 29 to April 5, 2026. Braga, the religious capital, hosts elaborate events around Sé Cathedral, including the torchlit Procissão do Enterro do Senhor on Good Friday, where barefoot penitents and hooded figures wind through illuminated streets.
