Semana Santa / Holy week Santiago de Compostela 2021

As it stands, at present, the celebration of the Easter Mass at the Cathedral will be limited to pilgrims from Galicia and, of course, others from the region.
For those of you that have memories of attending the Easter Mass at the cathedral, what stands out to you?
Was it a goal of yours to finish the Camino on Easter Day? Did you accomplish that goal? What was the atmosphere both outside in the plaza and in the cathedral itself?
My hope is that the pandemic is brought under control and we pilgrims, from across the globe, will once again celebrate Easter Mass in Santiago.
Buen "He is Risen" Camino,
Arn
 
The 2024 Camino guides will be coming out little by little. Here is a collection of the ones that are out so far.
Tomorrow it is Palm Sunday and of course due to the pandemic there will be no processions this week , but there are alternatives.



 
A reminder to members that the Forum Rules do not allow discussions about religion. Notifications about religious services connected to the Camino or the Cathedral have always been allowed on the forum, but they are not an excuse to enter into debate about religious beliefs.
 
Ideal pocket guides for during & after your Camino. Each weighs only 1.4 oz (40g)!
Thanks for posting this @SabineP!
I hope the Triduum processions are allowed outdoors this year. They are deeply moving and an integral part of the Triduum celebrations in SdC. Loved being in SdC for The Triduum.
 
As the wonderfully crafted pasos won't be paraded through the streets of Los Arcos this year I am attaching some photos of the tableaux from Easter 2015 when they were in the cloisters of the town's beautiful church. I had to stay for two nights there because of a chest infection but it meant that I was there when the church was open and able to see inside this glorious building.

@SEB2 Unlike some sombre pasos from other towns these from Los Arcos look very intimate and inviting ( for lack of a better word ).

Great topic. Does anyone know if this mass will be available on video? or Zoom?... And if so where can one find it ?

Thank you in advance for any information.

Nice coincidence; today you cited this link to the Iglesia de la Corticela within the cathedral and I showed the exterior view of it as my first sight of the cathedral yesterday

"La Iglesia de la Corticela desde 1527 es la iglesia de extranjeros y vascos".
(Corticela church is the chuch of foreigners and Basques since 1527).
The thing is that there was an inmigration of Basques to Santiago who were experts in something that I can't find on Internet and so that the street name "Rua dos Basquiños" near the bus station.
