This year around 300 amateur actors and actresses are taking part, in addition to the technical and logistical staff that contribute to this representation.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>La Pasión</i> will be broadcast nationally by 13 Televisión, as will Televisión Canaria and Mírame Televisión and the social networks of the Adeje City Council itself.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><div>The theatrical work of almost two hours duration, takes place in Calle Grande and Plaza de España in Adeje, beginning in the Plaza de la Cruz del Llano, where the last supper takes place. Along the Calle Grande, the scenes that represent the last moments of the life of Jesus are depicted, among them the trial of Pontius Pilate; Herod; the meeting with Judas; the prayer on the Mount of Olives, until the culmination of the work, in Plaza España where two crosses are constructed with the <i>Barranco del Infierno</i> (Ravine of Hell) as a backdrop. In the middle will rise the third and last cross where Jesus, played by the actor Ignacio de La Lastra, will give his last words. At the bottom awaits the Virgin Mary, played by Ana Oneida Borges Medina, together with María de Cleofás who will be played by Sonnibel Mendoza, Saint John played by Gabriele Zizzi and María Magdalena, whose role is embodied by Ania González, putting an end to this shocking play.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>This year, the most significant novelty will be the incorporation of a new scene, the expulsion of the merchants from the temple, because in the judgment of Jesus Christ, with their purchases and sales, they dishonour the Father in the place where he should be most honoured. In this scene you can see a different Jesus, more intense and concerned about purity of faith.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.soldelsurtenerife.com/articulo/adeje2/pasion-vuelve-calle-grande-adeje-formato-habitual/20230404200255073638.html"><i>La Pasión vuelve a la Calle Grande de Adeje en su formato habitual</i></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjO0Zi3X2AwivUsf6ZKa50uTPv5wo-dIUYxfQbTc275pkKQx2XzedN2e-rJFrozoHRuP8f4Adf8Tr0dPByHn3G5SF8w74zhCKSlkhP56IgWOHTbG1GKAO0FouHSAAvjrogcNFr_qEemZ6K4S4GzDduRUW-oh-bA6KkWW1ZBuxi8fI00Wz4Ng/s758/cartel-semana-santa-2023.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="758" data-original-width="555" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjO0Zi3X2AwivUsf6ZKa50uTPv5wo-dIUYxfQbTc275pkKQx2XzedN2e-rJFrozoHRuP8f4Adf8Tr0dPByHn3G5SF8w74zhCKSlkhP56IgWOHTbG1GKAO0FouHSAAvjrogcNFr_qEemZ6K4S4GzDduRUW-oh-bA6KkWW1ZBuxi8fI00Wz4Ng/s320/cartel-semana-santa-2023.jpg" width="234" /></a></div><a href="https://www.aytolalaguna.es/servicios/fiestas/">In La Laguna, The Board of Brotherhoods of San Cristóbal de La Laguna celebrates 70 years of activity</a> this year.
