Procession of the Dead Jesus

The Catholic Diocese of Macau organizes the 'Procession of the Dead Jesus' every year on Good Friday. This event is a solemn and unique religious celebration that welcomes the arrival of Easter with residents and visitors, while also spreading the Catholic spirit of faith, hope, and love through the streets and alleys of the city.

Following the celebration of the Sunday Mass at the Cathedral (the 'Dai Tong'), a procession formed by clergy and lay faithful in long robes travels through various parts of Macau's historic Old City. The procession attracts many onlookers and tourists who often join in along the route. It has become one of the major annual events for Macau's Catholic community, promoting a spirit of universal love.
