Yesterday, the Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno held its traditional general meeting on Holy Thursday, popularly known as de las Yemas, for the sweet that has been distributed in this conclave since the 19th century. Nearly 300 makos came to the Nuevo Teatro Circo at half past four in the afternoon with their purple scarves embroidered with the coat of arms of the brotherhood.
The act began with laughter due to the confusion of the chaplain, Fernando Gutiérrez Reche, who welcomed the “Cabildo de las Hienas” through the microphone. His comment was not so wrong, because the first words of the older brother, Francisco Pagán, were dedicated to the californios, the great rival brotherhood. He did so in response to the chronicle published by LA VERDAD about the Cabildo de los Dátiles held last Holy Monday by the brothers of the Arrest. The ‘Calis’ laughed at the problems of the mako in the church of Santo Domingo.
“The Cabildo de los Dátiles has three or four newscasts,” said the older mako brother sarcastically about the youth of this conclave. “Californios have preferred to seek confrontation with us in their town hall. Perhaps it was because of the nerves of the next electoral process that they have, “justified Pagán. The Californios showed in their Cabildo, led by their older brother Juan Carlos de la Cerra, their tension over the insensitivity of the mako at the time of starting their Good Friday morning, with the grenadiers parading just after midnight yesterday. “It makes me want to close the church of Santa María so that no mako enters on Holy Thursday,” said De la Cerra, who also warned that “the early morning mako would start last night if the Californians had left.”
The older brother, Francisco Pagán, remembers that “as the bishop said, after midnight the night is purple”
To this, the older mako brother replied in the council of his brotherhood that «we all know that Good Friday is mako. We have scrupulously adhered to the departure time for decades. And from 00.00 hours, as Bishop Lorca Planes said, it is Good Friday mako. Some should be reminded that the fact that Good Friday begins at midnight is a non-negotiable issue, because it has already been closed for a long time. At 12:05 a.m. on Good Friday, the grenadiers and marrajo Jews will be in the street,” said the older brother, encouraging his brothers to participate in this unique moment that took place last night on Jara street as a prelude to the Meeting, which the purple staged early morning in the Plaza del Lago.
Award to José Carlos del Álamo
Gregorio Saura, from La Agonía, asked for the floor in this celebration to give the ‘Calis’ a little more cane in reference to the extraordinary procession that they organize next Monday on the occasion of the 275th anniversary of the first Californio Holy Wednesday: «On Monday Easter does not have to be any procession. It is a day of joy. And not a day to commemorate Holy Week with the Cristo del Prendimiento and the Virgen del Primer Dolor». The older mako brother finished by pointing out that “we all know that Lent ends on Holy Thursday. Therefore, during Holy Week in Cartagena, the makos procession.
The Cabildo de las Yemas had the Nazarena Mayor, Margarita García, from the Student Association. The makos recognized José Carlos del Álamo as the Mako of Honor, who spoke before the visibly moved public. «I thank Jesus Nazareno because for 62 years, without missing a single one, he has let me out in his procession. Being a mako is a privilege, because in the brotherhood we get together and make friends with people from all social classes without distinction. And that is very enriching », he concluded.
