SailingSal Posted March 2, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 2, 2009 We will be in San Juan for Good Friday this year and would like to attend a Catholic Service. We are staying at the Sheraton and thought perhaps there would be a re-enactment of the stations of the cross. Does anyone have any info for us?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainforestgirl Posted March 2, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Maybe another local will chime in with details... If not, I will be in OSJ this week and will get you the info. They do a re-enactment in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainforestgirl Posted March 5, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I was in town today. The re-enactment in the street is at 5pm on Good Friday. They also have on Good Friday: prayers/services at 1pm, 3pm (stations of the Cross) and 7pm. They have an 8pm prayer vigil on Saturday Sunday 11am Mass.

SailingSal Posted March 5, 2009 Author #8 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thank you very much for the information. I look forward to be able to attend the street presentation. I had heard that it was something to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lah66 Posted January 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2013 We are staying at Caleta 64 precruise and wondered what we may experience being so close to the Cathedral on Good Friday. I looked at the Cathedrals website but it is in Spanish. I would love to go to a service and watch the reenactment in the streets...do they do that every year? Does anybody know the schedule of these events? I read that there was a Last Supper renactment on Thursday night, but also not sure if that is something they do each year. Thank you for your advice!

RangerMom Posted January 15, 2013 #10 Share Posted January 15, 2013 it is done islandwide . this day is observed in Puerto Rico (no work, no school, malls closed) We have a segway tour booked for this day in old San Juan. Will all the shops and restaurants be closed then? Maybe we need to pick a different day to do Old San Juan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lah66 Posted January 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2013 RangerMom, I have been told that all the tourist areas and the forts in OSJ will be open on Good Friday...I assume that means your segway tour too. We had friends who did that last year and had a ball! Also confirmed that Barrachinas will be open that night and the Flamenco dancing show will be on...there are two ships in port that day so they have good reason to stay open! I am curious about some of the religious activities that will be going on...hopefully a local will fill me in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
