In Colombiaa religious festival known as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is intended to commemorate the heart of Jesus Christ as a symbol of divine love. This festivity is celebrated on the Friday after the second Sunday in June and stands out for the performance of masses, processions and religious activities. Its main objective is to encourage the practice of charity and compassion towards others. Every year, this celebration takes place in Colombia and other countries in the region, honoring the heart of Jesus Christ as a symbol of his dedication, love and mercy towards humanity.
The exact date varies each year, being set 71 days after Easter, which guarantees that it always falls on a Friday. However, in Colombia the Emiliani law is applied, which moves the celebration to the following Monday to allow greater participation. It usually takes place during the month of June, in connection with the celebration of Pentecost, which makes the date of Sacred Heart of Jesus Day flexible.
