The representation of the Passion of Christ in Iztapalapa is one of the most emblematic events of Holy Week in Mexico. This procession has become one of the most representative images of Holy Week in Mexico City. Where to watch the Iztapalapa Way of the Cross live? For those who cannot attend in person, there are options to follow the live broadcast. The event can be seen through the official Facebook page of the Holy Week Organizing Committee of Iztapalapa (COSSIAC). Likewise, the coverage will also be broadcast by Imagen TV, which will allow following every moment from open television. The representation will begin at 12:00 PM on Friday, April 3rd, so it is recommended to connect in advance not to miss the start of the procession. Who will play Jesus this year? In this 183rd edition, the role of Jesus will be played by Arnulfo Morales, a 25-year-old young physician from the UNAM. His participation has generated interest among attendees, as the choice of the main actor is one of the most commented elements of the event each year. Every year, more than a million people gather to witness this act that combines faith, tradition, and popular culture. This event, which was even declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO, recreates Jesus' journey to Calvary through the 14 stations of the Way of the Cross, in a production involving hundreds of participants. Where does the route begin and what is it like? The representation begins at the Macroplaza of the Jardín Cuitláhuac, the starting point from where the actor playing Jesus begins the procession carrying the cross. Along the way, the 14 stations of the Way of the Cross are represented until reaching the Cerro de la Estrella, where the performance culminates with the crucifixion.
