The Málaga Easter Festival is a prominent religious, social, and cultural gathering held every year in the city of Málaga. Processional marches occur from Palm Sunday to Good Friday, with Holy Saturday serving as the interim period until Easter Sunday. From Lent until Passion Saturday, five Brotherhoods, along with various associations and parish organizations, partake in the processions. It gained recognition as an International Tourist Attraction on February 16, 1980.

In Málaga, the revered icons are transported on elaborate platforms referred to as "thrones," distinguishing them significantly from those found in other Spanish locales. These thrones are renowned for their substantial size and cultural significance. Unlike elsewhere, where "pasos" are conveyed by carriers beneath a wooden beam, in Málaga, the responsibility falls on "men of the throne" who support the weight by resting their shoulders beneath long metal or wooden bars extending from the structure. Additionally, these thrones tend to surpass pasos in size.

Like in other urban centers, Málaga's processions typically feature a pair of thrones (depicting Christ and the Virgin), escorted by penitents (nazarenos) carrying candles or other paraphernalia like rule books or lanterns, alongside "promesas" who have pledged penance for favors, walking behind the band. An exceptional trait in Málaga is the accompaniment provided by military and security units to the venerated Sacred Images, encompassing units such as the Parachute Brigade, the Legion, the Navy, the Regulars, the Marines, the Local Police, or the Civil Guard.

Apart from the penitential march, the brotherhoods and sisterhoods engage in additional endeavors centered on their three core principles: education, devotion, and philanthropy. These encompass a range of charitable initiatives like supporting soup kitchens, contributing food, or caring for the elderly and infirm. Internal religious practices occur year-round, comprising novenas, quinquennials, and triduums, often involving the presentation of sacred images to infants or youngsters, alongside the distribution of medals featuring the organization's emblem.

There is a Consortium of Brotherhoods, established in 1921, wherein members are chosen quadrennially by the leaders of various brotherhoods and sisterhoods. This autonomous body, free from governmental influence, oversees the coordination of Holy Week activities and streamlines negotiations and arrangements with official bodies concerning the designated route.
