Holy Week in Cartagena
The brotherhood marraja shows a succession of scenes of the passion and death of Jesus, glossed in the sacred writings
The ten thrones integrated in the entourage gave testimony on the night of Good Friday of the sacrifice of the son of God, through the streets of the historic center of Cartagena. His deed was glorified before hundreds of attendees by the succession of scenes of the passion and death of Jesus, glossed in the sacred scriptures. After the grouping of the Holy Chalice, with the throne on wheels, and the adult members of the Group of Grenadiers, in escort tasks, marched the third and those who carried the throne of Our Father Jesus Nazareno, whose image is the work of José Capuz in 1945 and parades almost in the lead for being the head of the marraja brotherhood.
With the image of Christ carrying the Cross on his back, the speech of the passion began, followed by the Expossession of Jesus, in which the image appears stripped of its clothes, shortly before the crucifixion.
The Third of the Agony preceded once again the throne of the same name formed by a crucified Christ and a Sorrowful. Behind the group paraded the Lanzada, with the image that illustrates the wound inflicted by a Roman on Jesus in his martyrdom.
The Descent amazed the respectable, three years after the last time the procession took place. After the carving of a piece, the work of master Capuz, with the descent of Christ from the Cross, the cheers came to the Pietà. Behind them came the Roman soldiers, the popular “Jewish” marrajos, to make way for the main image of the procession: the Holy Burial.
The members of the Municipal Corporation also retaliated, marching before the Holy Sepulchre. The San Juan, with her palm, and the Virgen de la Soledad, with her beautiful embroidered mantle, closed the procession with the escort of the Artillery picket.
