This pictures are of Pollensa, a small town in Mallorca, where the holy week is very important too

Was the first Cofradia in Palma we know for sure that in 1554 there was already a procession in Palma for the Holy Thursday, and The Christ of La Sang, was walked in procession, like now. This image is the most beloved image in Mallorca, and only goes out of its church this day. Some years ago, the image, had to be restored, because a mental disabled person detroyed it.
