The Calvary Steps and the historic heart of Pollen\u00e7a<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pollen\u00e7a is a focal point for the Easter Week celebrations in Mallorca. The ‘Davallament’ (\u2018Descent from the Cross\u2019) ceremony on Good Friday is deeply moving, as thousands gather at the Calvary Steps to witness Christ’s image being lowered from the cross and carried in solemn procession to the Church of Our Lady of the Angels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The traditional climb up the 365 Calvary Steps (one for each day of the year) is another important ceremony. On Maundy Thursday, robed penitents with traditional hoods make their way up the staircase bearing crosses in a powerful display of devotion. Easter Monday is celebrated with a pilgrimage to the beautiful hill-top sanctuary on Puig de Mar\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s worth exploring the charming historic centre of Pollen\u00e7a, one of Mallorca’s most captivating towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Culinary and cultural traditions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As well as these wonderful spiritual ceremonies, Easter Week in Mallorca is a wonderful opportunity to delight in local flavours and cultural traditions.
