Two free concerts and a solemn mass to close the Eucharistic Holy Year in the historic centre
Did you know that Valencia Cathedral keeps a cup which, according to tradition, is the one used at the Last Supper?
This is the Holy Chalice and every five years the city dedicates a Jubilee Year to it, a special period in which the Church invites pilgrims to visit the Cathedral to venerate the relic.
The 3rd Jubilee Year began on 30 October 2025 and ends on 29 October 2026, and to bid it farewell, the historic centre of Valencia will host a series of plans and events open to all audiences.
Schedule of events and concerts
29 October at 19:00 – Closing Eucharist – Valencia Cathedral
A solemn mass at the High Altar presided over by the Archbishop officially closes the 3rd Eucharistic Holy Year of the Holy Chalice of Hope, right on the day the jubilee ends. This is one of the very few days that the relic leaves its chapel! Will you come to see it?
20 November at 19:30 — Orquestra de València Concert – Palau de la Música
The Sala Iturbi at the Palau de la Música dresses up to host the Orquestra de València under the baton of maestro Alexander Liebreich.
The evening's repertoire promises an unforgettable experience, combining the vitality of Schumann's Symphony No. 3 "Rhenish" with masterful excerpts from Wagner's Parsifal. The performance will also feature the exceptional voices of prestigious mezzo-soprano Elīna Garanča in the role of Kundry and tenor Michael Weinius as Parsifal.
