The Holy Week (the week leading to Easter) is one of the most important religious times of the year for Christians. It's celebrated around the world with many processions.

One of the oldest documented Holy Week processions in Catalonia and in all the state of Spain is the Holy Thursday procession celebrated in Badalona (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit), called "processó dels misteris" (the mysteries' procession) or "processó del silenci" (silence procession). It has been celebrated since the year 1628.

The procession is carried out after sunset, only illuminated by the participants' candles, and in complete silence.

The participants carry "mysteries" (sculptures representing religious imagery). 3 of them are original from the 17th century, and the other 12 have been built in later years, up to the 1950s.

Charles de Groux - The evening procession - 

Black chalk and watercolor on paper, height: 34.8 cm (13.7 in); width: 48 cm (18.8 in)

Charles de Groux or Charles Degroux (25 August 1825 – 30 March 1870) was a French painter, engraver, lithographer and illustrator. As he moved to Belgium at a young age and his whole career took place in Belgium he is usually referred to as a Belgian artist. His depictions of scenes from the life of the disadvantaged and lower-class people of his time mark him as the first Belgian social realist painter. These works made him the precursor of Belgian Realist artists such as Constantin Meunier and Eugène Laermans.
