“No damage to the heritage, given that there was time to dry everything well and most of the images were covered in procession.” That is the conclusion reached by the eldest brother of the California Brotherhood, Pedro Ayala, after completing the inspections of the heritage used last Palm Sunday in the Burrica procession, which had to be dissolved by the rain. According to Ayala, it has not been necessary to repair any images or thrones. Nor throw away clothing, because “despite the complicated situation, especially due to the high participation of children, we reacted quickly and had help from brothers from other brotherhoods, especially the makos, to dry everything properly and avoid further damage,” he said.
The eldest brother of the embodied brotherhood recalled that when it began to rain, three thrones at the head of the procession were already inside the parish of Santa María. However, “enormous work” had to be done to prepare everything.
On the other hand, the throne of the Coronation of Thorns, which is processed on Holy Wednesday, will be subjected to a “deep restoration and consolidation intervention” to recover the original work as conceived by its author, the Cartagena carver Rafael Eleuterio Aguilar. sixty years old.
In addition, preventive conservation plans will be implemented for this work after its recovery, in order to prolong its useful life and bequeath this heritage asset to future generations, according to the California Brotherhood.
