Dozens of actors and volunteers are seen on Friday, March 29, 2024, while participating in the 13th edition of the 'Passion of Christ' performance that marks the Good Friday festivities, in the Delfines beach, in Cancun, Quintana Roo (Mexico). One of the most special days of the Catholic calendar during Holy Week is Good Friday, on which it is believed that Christ was crucified. Different representations of this act are held around the world, but none like the one represented in Cancun in which the Way of the Cross takes place on the shore of the Caribbean sea. In Mexico, the most popular is Iztapalapa, which was held for the first time in 1843. According to official figures, almost five thousand people, mainly from Cancun, as well as national and foreign tourists, gathered at the popular Delfines beach to participate in he representation. Last year, after having resumed the performance after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic caused by COVID-19, the people of Cancun were invited to join the cast, which had an effect, since on this occasion the performance was resumed complete, reaching a duration of just over an hour. In addition to this representation on the beach, throughout Cancun there were around 22 other religious congregations that had some commemoration of this type for Holy Week. (Photo by Hugo Ortuño)
