The Old Town of Panama City is the most popular destination for parishioners during Holy Week, thanks to the proximity of its churches and the richness of processions and expressions of faith. Every year during Holy Week, thousands of parishioners visit churches as a sign of prayer and reflection on Holy Thursday, in a Catholic tradition known as the visit to the seven churches. The administrator of the Panama Tourism Authority, Gloria De León, highlighted the dynamism that this season generates both in the city and in the interior of the country. The Church of Santa Marta, pictured above, can be visited this Holy Thursday in Betania.
