Holly Day Alcoy

There are six different processions in the celebration of Easter, along with a further two community celebrations

The culmination of the religious celebrations is on Resurrection Sunday, which in Alcoi has special significance as it is the day on which two traditions meet. At dawn the procession “dels Xiulitets” or holy encounter takes place, and later on the same day the people of Alcoi celebrate the first act of the local fiestas, the Gloria’s day in the streets of the city.
