Description

This letter, dated January 22, 1970, is an invitation addressed to a group of twelve Tarragona residents to participate in a Holy Week procession. The document reflects the importance of religious festivities as spaces for collective representation and cultural projection during the Franco regime. Despite the ideological control of the regime, these celebrations were also moments of community meeting and expression. The letter is a testament to the social and religious life of the time, and is part of the theme of the “beats of Catalan society”, showing how popular religiosity was part of local identity and the continuity of traditions in a restrictive political context.
