Semana Santa

Updated May 2022

The inhabitants of Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá Colombia, tour the neighborhood in one of the largest via crucis in the city: the Tree of Life, better known as the Hangman's Stick.

The parishioners carry out this task as a sign of faith and sacrifice on the day that the crucifixion of Jesus is commemorated.

Once the procession is over, several faithful remain on the mountain to share lunch and prayer.

Some, as a test of faith and a request for favors, embed small crosses around the legendary tree.
