The prelude to Holy Week in Malaga 2024 arrives with many acts and transfers in which the Malaga brotherhoods end up making the final preparations before the processional departures that will take place starting on Palm Sunday, if time permits. This Friday of pain, eight brotherhoods celebrate their transfers, with Marian images having a special role, since it coincides with the celebration of the festival of the Virgin of Sorrows, in which the brotherhoods organize their cults for this devotion. Today’s transfers are: Monte Calvario, Dolores del Puente, Dolores de San Juan, Soledad de San Pablo, Soledad de Mena, Viñeros, Santa Cruz and Expiración
