Verges, the Procession

Riding the Wave of Tradition, the Procession of Verges has lived through all the twists and turns of history, and each era has left its mark on the form we know today. Jordi Roca i Rovira offers a view of the Holy Thursday Procession from both a historical and contemporary perspective.

This is a work with a clear educational purpose, yet it deeply analyzes and investigates the unique elements that make the Procession of Verges a cultural event of remarkable importance.

You’ll find key data about how the tradition has evolved over time, but also a spotlight on the anonymous work that has made it possible for the procession to take to the streets every year—through calm waters as well as against the current and through stormy winds.

The book features photographs by Tino Soriano and Rafael López Monné.
