Yesterday, Easter Monday, the Patron Saints Monte Alodia and Nunilon made their way into Huescar after two years of waiting. The procession was followed by the Holy Week in Huesca, or the 11-day processional parades that make up the Holy Week in Huesca. This is undoubtedly one the most important Holy Weeks in the province. It has also been designated of Tourist Interest in Andalusia.
Rafael Giron, president of the Federation of Brotherhoods of Huescar highlights the emotion that was used to prepare and celebrate the Resurrection, Death, and Passion of Jesus Christ this year. The whole municipality was filled with joy during a Holy Week that was lived with intense intensity. Eloy Molina’s photo of the Virgen De Los Dolores, and the recumbent Christ of the Brotherhood of the Holy Sepulchre was published on the official poster.
The calendar is now up and running. As of Monday last Monday, the 50-day period of permanence in Huescar of images of Saints has begun. Before being returned on a pilgrimage, the images were delivered to Puebla de Don Fadrique. This will take place on Monday, June 6, Pentecost Monday.
The people of Puebla said goodbye to Saints Monday. After the Mass celebrated in the Hermitage of Saints, the pilgrimage started on its way to Huescar.
The entourage stopped at traditional locations where Huesca people wait for Saints to be baptized into the water. Finally, at 9:15, the Municipal Corporation, Archpriesthood, Parish clergy and the Federation of Brotherhoods, along with the Municipal Music Band of Huescar, walked to the bandstand, where the mayor placed the wand of control on the throne de las Santas and began the solemn entry procession of Patron Saints, accompanied by the Santo Cristo de la Expiracion forks. Many others joined the Saints in Huesca, as well as the hundreds of Huesca residents who were there. They sang the hymn of Saints at the Plaza Mayor.
