Processions declared a Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional (a regional designation for festivals of touristic interest) on 18 December 2018, one of the central moments of Villacañas's festive calendar. Several brotherhoods take part, among them that of the Santísimo Cristo del Coloquio, the oldest, founded in 1749, and that of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores, from 1770, together with the Hermandad de San Juan Evangelista, that of the Santo Sepulcro and that of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno, which brings together around 460 brothers. Eight processions are held over the course of the week, with images including carvings by the sculptor Tomás Parés made in the 1940s.
