Last Friday, March 27, Besalú once again experienced the Day of Sorrows, culminating in its Procession of Sorrows, one of the most charismatic and emblematic manifestations of Catalan Lent, and awarded the Cross of Saint George by the Generalitat of Catalonia in 2005.

This year we had the honor of being accompanied by Fra Octavi Vilà, Bishop of Girona, during the Office and all the morning events. 

The Prior 2026 has been Father Miquel Oliveras i Coll, rector of Besalú and corrector of the Venerable Congregation of Sorrows for the last 10 years (2015-2025).

The Procession of Sorrows in Besalú is a true showcase of the spirituality of the people of our region and a space for reflection where silence, tradition and faith join hands and walk together!
