The Children's Procession is a reproduction of the procession of the older ones, although with fewer protagonists and somewhat abbreviated. The verses are the same as those of the Holy Thursday procession, most of the costumes are inherited from the procession of the older ones, and the way of performing, both gestures and words, are intended to be an exact reproduction of the procession of the adults.

Notícies

It begins in the Square, where some of the dialogues from Jesus' public life are reenacted (the Samaritan Woman, the Palm Sunday, the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane and Pontius Pilate, and the Sentence). The procession then forms, with a shorter route than Thursday's, representing only the scenes of the first fall and the reverence of death in the church square.

INFORMATION AND SCHEDULES

Some roots of improvisation

The Children's Procession started as an imitation game by the children of Verges since it is not known exactly when. The only thing certain is that all the grandparents of Verges still remember having done it, sometimes very splendidly, sometimes simpler, but always punctually every Holy Saturday afternoon.

The Children's Procession is the base where future actors learn, come into contact with the public, and above all, feel that emotion within themselves that will lead them to love the procession and long to be, in the future, protagonists of the Holy Thursday Procession. It is a basic tool to ensure traditional transmission forms, since in what the little ones execute with the desire to imitate the older ones, a transmission occurs by mimesis of diction, gestures and stage movements that will later have continuity when the little ones go on to the procession of the older ones.
