THE PILGRIMAGE OF THE MIRACLE

THE PILGRIMAGE OF MIRACLE BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 27
A large group of citizens of Mazarrón, met on 31 August at the local Residents Association, Bolnuevo, with the Mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo and unanimously decided to delay the conclusion of the Pilgrimage Miracle a week, in order to avoid the popular festival coinciding with the polls for the General Election. In an act of commitment to the residents of the municipality, the Mayor, accompanied by First Deputy Mayor, Francisco Garcia and Council of Celebration, Isidro Coy, presented the pros and cons.

The Bolnuevo neighbourhood associations, and representatives of the Confraternity of La Purisima, the Head of Bolnuevo, José Antonio González, and other neighbours who are actively involved in organizing these festivities concluded that delaying the pilgrimage a week does not pose a conflict for the party. On the contrary, dozens of people are flocking from all parts of the region that could attend this celebration, so it was decided to transfer the pilgrimage from 20 to 27 November.


This large festival day will take place the same weekend of the pilgrimage, that is, on Friday 25 and Saturday 26. What does not change is the rise of the Virgin from Bolnuevo to Mazarrón, to be produced, as always, the Sunday before November 17, which this year falls on a Sunday 13.

The 17th day of the Miracle will also continue to be a public holiday in the municipality and, as usual, carry out actions that are tradition. The Immaculate Conception, affectionately called "Virgen del Milagro" by the residents of Bolnuevo, will spend a week at the Shrine of the Immaculate de Mazarrón, something that has never happened before. Both the City Council and neighbourhood associations of Bolnuevo are once again determined to make the festival that gets together hundreds of people every year as successful as previous years.
