The publication ‘Holy Week: a living tradition’ is an anthropologically oriented work that addresses the study of some of the traditions of Holy Week and Easter that are celebrated in different areas of Europe. A work that allows us to know the diversity and similarities of a shared heritage that remains fully valid in our towns and regions, as well as offering us the possibility of discovering its evolution, its social implantation and its future scenario. This work born from the social recognition of this Cultural and Intangible Heritage that belongs to everyone and whose legacy we must keep alive for future generations.
