Colombians celebrate Holy Week to commemorate Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. During this week, normal activities stop and cities hold processions reenacting scenes from Christ's passion. Three main celebration sites are Pamplona, Popayán, and Mompox. In Pamplona, international choirs perform and children carry figures representing Christ's story. Popayán hosts famous processions on Palm Sunday, Good Tuesday, and Good Friday, plus religious music festivals. In Mompox, people decorate saint figures for street parades and visit cemeteries on Good Wednesday for a musical tribute to the deceased.
