Near the Parish of Our Lady of Sorrows, one of the most meaningful events is the annual Via Crucis (Stations of the Cross) on Good Friday, a solemn procession retracing Christ’s journey to crucifixion. Held in the church square and surrounding streets, it features traditional hymns, candlelight rituals, and deep spiritual reflection—offering visitors a powerful glimpse into Chilean Catholic devotion.
The parish also hosts local art exhibitions and craft fairs every weekend, showcasing indigenous pottery, embroidery, and woodwork by Santiago-based artisans. Proceeds often support community initiatives, fostering social responsibility.
During Día de las Dolorosas (Day of the Sorrowful Virgins), special masses and communal meals bring together locals in celebration of faith and solidarity. These events provide a rare opportunity to engage with the spiritual heartbeat of Santiago beyond the architecture.
Check the parish’s official calendar in advance to plan your visit and fully immerse in these authentic, soulful traditions.
