Holy Week in Puerto de Mazarrón extends this year its
timetable of ceremonial events with the celebration of a Via Crucis which will
take place on Easter Monday starting at 9.30pm. At that time the image of Nuestro
Padre Jesús Nazareno will start from the fish market to be met by Santísima
Virgen de los Dolores who leaves the Church of San José. This news was
announced by the local Priest, Justo José Sánchez for whom it is a different
processions event, "thus providing a time for prayer and deep meditation
for Pasión del Salvador” , said Justo José Sánchez who invited the
residents of Puerto de Mazarrón to come with candles to illuminate this event.
This news was announced after Mass on Ash Wednesday, held in
the Church of San José de Puerto de Mazarrón. In a ceremony attended by the
Mayor of Mazarrón, Francisco Garcia, and the Councillors of Culture and Celebrations, Ginés Campillo
and Isidro Coy, President of the Council of Guilds Francisco Muñoz Osuna, and the name of the Nazarene preacher for this
year was announced . Distinctions were awarded to the Director of la Voz of
Mazarrón, Antonio Balanza, and Confrade Aurora del Olmo, respectively. Balanza
will read his proclamation on March 27.
In addition and as expected, the poster was also presented,
which this year has been designed by local photographer Teresa Lopez Acosta. In
a close-up image, Christo Nazareno is seen supporting the weight of the Cross,
and secondly sees the Virgen de los Dolores showing her worth as a mother seeing the suffering of her son.
The event was closed by Ginés Campillo Councillor for
Culture and the Mayor of Mazarrón, Francisco García who asked the guilds to continue
working to keep Easter alive and urged citizens to take to the streets as they
have done previously, to live these days with faith and passion, both from the
religious sphere and from the point of view of a cultural event.
