Although at the moment, in Girona, a single procession of Holy Week, that of Good Friday, is celebrated until the first quarter of the nineteenth century, and from its origins, there were two, the one on Holy Thursday, also called the Purest Blood - and the one that has followed until today of Good Friday - the one of Passion and Death.
In the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries an exit on Holy Thursday was organized by the Brotherhood of Saint George, which was accompanied by several steps such as the Holy Christ (1771), and the Cross of the Improperis (1766), among others. From at least 1751, the handler of Manaies accompanied these manifestations.
