What is the Davallament de Felanitx

On the night of Good Friday, the Davallament de Felanitx takes place, an open-air theatrical performance that reenacts the descent of Christ from the cross.

Although it was originally held inside the church, the growth of the event led to its relocation outdoors, specifically to the church steps, becoming an open and participatory event.

More than 200 people take part in the performance, including actors and technical staff, making it a deeply community-driven event. The people of Felanitx keep this tradition alive generation after generation.


A key tradition in Mallorca’s Easter Week

The Davallament is not only a religious act but also one of the most important cultural expressions of Easter in Mallorca.

Its staging, the silence of the audience, the lighting and the music create a unique atmosphere that sets it apart from other celebrations on the island.

Each year, the performance evolves while preserving its essence, ensuring it remains one of the most anticipated events in Felanitx.
