Spanish term or phrase: subida de jesús
From a Spanish tourist publication: Los hombres realizan la "Subida de Jesús", procesión que traslada..." Apparently this is not the "asunción" or "ascent of Christ" because in the ceremony it precedes the sentencing by Pilate.

re-enact the delivery of Jesus to Pilate
Explanation:
could be one solution. Note that "subida de..." is a conventional use in Spanish and principally relates to two incidents (Golgotha and the ascension), although it could also mean "travelling to..." Jerusalem, Jordan, etc.

In any case, the noun implies the movement of Jesus, not the re-enactment, which is basically the purpose of church (and other-confessional) processions. (The only novelty in this answer is the verb). HTH.

"Jesus ascending (the Mount of Olives)"


Explanation:
I think it refers to the climb up the Mount of Olives. Jesus prayed there before being taken prisoner. I agree it has nothing to do with the Ascension, which took place much later.

subida de jesús
the carrying up of Jesus / carrying Jesus up / bearing Jesus aloft


Explanation:
From what I can find on line, this is subir in the sense of carrying the heavy figure of Jesus up from the church where it usually resides to the main town square.

Does that fit the context of your document? Or does it seem to refer to an event in the story of Jesus?

agree  María Eugenia Wachtendorff: Hola, Cecilia. ¡FELIZ NAVIDAD! En Chile sí decimos "subida", pero trándose de "escalar". Pero tienes razón -aquí LOS HOMBRES trasladan la imagen de Jesús. Felicitaciones. Estabas más despierta que todos nosotros.
