Fiestas católicas 

El catolicismo, con sus numerosas procesiones, tiene una larga historia en el cantón de Friburgo.

El Viernes Santo, las «Lloronas» desfilan en oración por la ciudad de Romont con la cabeza cubierta por un velo negro. Esta conmemoración de la Pasión de Cristo reúne a visitantes, creyentes o profanos.

Después de la misa del Corpus Christi, la procesión visita en oración los altares levantados sobre repisas ricamente decoradas. La procesión celebra Jesucristo en el sacramento de la Eucaristía.  

Catholicism, with its numerous processions, has a long history in the canton of Fribourg.

On Good Friday, female mourners dressed in black (in French ‘pleureuses’) and cross-bearers march through the town of Romont, singing and praying in remembrance of Christ’s suffering and crucifixion.

In Fribourg, on Corpus Christi, a procession takes place after mass. It passes by a series of lavishly adorned altars, and the congregation stops at each one to pray and sing.
