On Good Friday in the rural town where I was we started with Stations at 9 am – no 9:45 am. Then at 2:30 – no 3:00 pm – we had the liturgy of the Passion. After that we had the procession of el santo entierro – with a glass coffin and the statue of Mary, following almost the same route as the Stations. But I missed the last two events – a prayer service at 8 pm and then another procession – la soledad, accompanying Mary in her solitude, a procession which is mostly of women.
There’s a little more on my blog about an anointing of the crucifix by women during the liturgy – definitely a local custom.

Happy Easter.
