In El Salvador, the towns in which Holy Week is most solemnly celebrated are Sonsonate and Izalco. Lent opens with its traditional processions on Fridays of Lent. And on Palm Sunday with the procession of Jesús de las Palmas.
Sonsonate Cathedral
The church of the parish of the Holy Trinity was blessed on April 1, 1887.
A distinctive symbol of the city is a locomotive located on the eastern side of the city, at the access of the San Salvador-Sonsonate highway. The machine symbolizes the history of the railway in El Salvador, in which Sonsonate played an important role.
