ISLA MUJERES, 23 de marzo.-
The first scene of the Viacruscis Viviente of Isla Mujeres will take place on Thursday.
On Holy Thursday, Mass will be held at 7:30pm at Our Lady of Immaculate Conception church at at 8:30 the reenactment of the Washing of the Feet of the apostles will begin on the Town Square.
The priest, Raul Sanchez Alonso, explained how the Easter Triduo begins on Thursday evening, when Lent ends, continuing to Easter Sunday. He said at the beginning of the celebration, the chapel (sagrario) is empty with the doors open. At the main altar, where Mass is celebrated, there are candles, cloths (manteles), but it is not decorated with flowers, until the Resurrection. The processional entrance is led by the acolytes, followed by the ministering priests (?ministros sagrados), and then the principal celebrant, a priest or bishop. Meanwhile, there is an accompaniment of songs (el choro acompana con cantos), because Lent is over and they are about to celebrate one of the most important moments of the liturgical year, the institution of the Eucharist and the mandamiento of love.
The priest spoke about the significance of the reenactment of the washing of the feet, which was done by Jesus to the twelve apostles before the Last Supper, and how this is related to the new mandamiento of love given by Jesus Christ.
He said after the reenactment, a Mass will be celebrated at the Sacred Heart church in colonia La Gloria, starting at 9m. On Friday, there will be a Mass a little while before noon at Sacred Heart, and the representation Viacrusis through the 14 Stations of the Cross will begin. This is the 24th edition of the Viacrucis Viviente and will have more than 90 actors participating.

For this municipal administration, Culture is a important means to achieve a society that is more participatory and less apathetic.
Para esta administración municipal, la Cultura es una herramienta vital para lograr una sociedad más participativa y menos indiferente.
The Mayor, Agapito Magana Sanches, said this fair strengthens tourism activity within the framework of being a Pueblo Magico. Those participating in the inauguration enjoyed a traditional Oaxacan breakfast and enjoyed a performance of music and dance.
