Despite economic limitations, the organizers managed to carry out the event, demonstrating the commitment of an entire community that works each year to strengthen this activity. The Passion of Christ in Pesé has once again consolidated itself as an event that not only strengthens faith but also boosts tourism and the cultural identity of the Azuero region, with a community that hopes to see this emblematic representation grow year after year. The district of Pesé, in the province of Herrera, experienced the traditional live representation of the Passion of Christ with deep faith and great participation during Holy Thursday and Friday, an event that brought together thousands of people and reaffirmed its position as one of the main religious tourism events in the region. With over seven decades of history, this activity once again brought together actors from the town itself, who, without receiving remuneration, brought to life the most significant moments of the life, passion, and death of Jesus Christ, keeping alive a tradition that has been passed down from generation to generation. Carlos Ocaña, who has played Jesus for several years, explained that taking on this role represents 'a great responsibility,' which requires physical, emotional, and spiritual preparation due to the sacrifice that the representation entails. Meanwhile, Javier Navarro, in charge of the set design, pointed out that in this edition they opted for a simpler and more minimalist concept, managing to renew almost all the sets with the available resources without losing the visual impact of the drama. Meanwhile, Eduardo Vega, a participant in the role of a Roman soldier, highlighted the importance of involving the new generations, describing the experience as 'beautiful' and inviting more young people to join this tradition.
