The municipality of Hornachuelos has successfully revitalized one of its most cherished traditions: the Children's Holy Week. This celebration, which had faded over time, was brought back in 2025, ensuring the continuity of local customs through new generations.

The initiative has allowed the streets of Hornachuelos to be filled with youthful fervor, with the youngest residents and youth of the municipality taking on the symbolic role of the brotherhoods. Behind this successful recovery are Carlos González, María de los Ángeles Murillo, and Javier Rodríguez, who, with the support of local brotherhoods, have breathed new life into this tradition.

The last time the Children's Holy Week was held in Hornachuelos before its recovery was prior to the pandemic. Now, boys and girls aged between 8 and 15 are responsible for carrying the floats, demonstrating that devotion is instilled and experienced from an early age. The mixed-gender floats are small-scale replicas of the Nazareno and Nazarena images that process during the adult Holy Week.

The procession maintains distinctive details such as the presence of girls dressed in mantillas in the entourage, adding a classic touch that connects generations. The Hornachuelos Music Band accompanies the parade, creating an atmosphere that combines solemnity and enthusiasm. The event is scheduled for this Sunday, April 12, departing from the Cemetery Chapel at 11:00 AM and arriving at the church around 2:00 PM.

Children's Holy Week is not just an event, but a school of tradition where young people actively participate, understanding and feeling the meaning of Holy Week in their community. It is a guarantee that future generations will continue to carry the floats and tell these stories, ensuring that tradition in Hornachuelos is taught, lived, and rescued when necessary.
