The transfer and enthronement of the Christ of the Good Death and Souls, better known as Christ of Mena, on the shoulders of the legionaries to his processional throne, is one of the most eagerly awaited processions of Maundy Thursday and one of the most deeply rooted traditions of Holy Week in Málaga.

The legionaires taking part are from the Honors Company of the Tercio Alejandro Farnesio IV of La Legion.

They began the parade through the streets of Málaga to the Plaza de Fray Alonso de Santo Tomás, where the church of Santo Domingo is located.
