Cervantes does a great Easter proclamation full of memories, emotions, faith and love] | The emotional highlight of the night was experienced with the delivery of the Nazarene of the Year Michael Garcia Ballesta posthumously |
The Shrine of La Purisima de Mazarron hosted last night reading the proclamation of Easter this year the town has been made by the journalist Juan Alfonso Cervantes Esparza.
The event yesterday was one of the most emotional that you remember for the fact that recognition of the Nazarene of the Year was awarded for the first time in history, posthumously.
The appointment was dedicated to Miguel García Ballesta who was a member of the brotherhood of San Juan, which has organized the events this year and recently died in a traffic accident.
The night was planned and full of intense feelings.
And so it was.
First President of the Chapter of Holy Week Brotherhoods of Mazarron, Cecilia Morales, made a brief introduction in which invited those present to "live the next few days as a transformation" and "to enjoy our neighbors and we are Easter visitors. "
Morales gave way to the president of the Brotherhood of St. John, Andrew Navarro, who presented the preacher of this year asking him to ascend to the altar from where he was directing his words to those present.
John A.
Cervantes, as a journalist by profession, began his opening speech to a story published in Bogota in which it was reported that John Paul II had asked to read to him the Gospel of St. John before he died and, like Pope Wojtyla, the preacher took "This is the time to adjust my bills, my hopes consummated."
Cervantes, who explained that he was penitent before portapasos of St. John, said that "we all need a way" and "I decided journalist as well have been San Juan".
The proclamation, one of the finest in living memory in the recent history of the Easter Mazarron, revolved around the figure of the apostle most dear to Jesus and, in addition to referring to the history of Mazarron, was peppered with references to his wife and future daughter, his family and especially his grandfather.
In this sense, for Cervantes, since he was born and so far "only passed his love" and encouraged his countrymen to "revere our Holy Week and to have no fear, but faith."
The cry was so complete that he was also full of beautiful verses themselves and St. John of the Cross, and references to the town's patron saint, La Purisima Concepcion, who presided from his dressing room throughout the ceremony wearing the purple robe proper to season of Lent.
Cervantes could not leave without acknowledging that "this proclamation joins me, tied me and my wife to Mazarron."
After the great applause that began to present his aunt, Juana Maria Esparza, gave him a diploma and the president of San Juan won the gold badge of the brotherhood.
Then the Councillor for Culture, Tourism and Education, Maria Celeste Soria, explained that "the City has a duty to support Mazarrón Easter because it is an expression of our art, traditions, culture and spirituality," giving way to the Mayor of Mazarron, Ginés Campillo, who called it "great honor to have had a town crier and a proclamation of the best I've heard."
It was then the mayor, visibly moved, revealed that the recognition of Nazareth of the year was awarded to Miguel Ballesta Garcia.
The pick was responsible for the honoree's cousin, Mariana Isabel Lopez Ballesta, who devoted a few words in memory of Michael.
Isabel M.
Ballesta made a reflection on life and death, reminding the gathered there that "Christians know that death is not the end but the beginning of life" and, supported by the welcome of the excited neighbors, said: " sure that Michael is very proud of this recognition. "
It was definitely the most emotional moment of the night and eerie.
One night she was brilliantly complemented by the "Quintet Mazarrón" who played masterfully Easter marches.
The parish priest of San Andres and San Antonio, Julio Romero, was responsible for closing the act calling on the faithful "living Easter Heart" and encouraging all "to participate in the death and resurrection of Jesus."
The meeting was also attended by the councilors of the government team Magdalena Mendez, Matilde Blázquez, Isidro Coy, Andrew James and Miguel Maria Garcia, and Alicia Jimenez, Juan Pedro Munoz and Mary of the Angels Roman by the opposition, plus the Vice President the Town Council of Mazarron, Tomas Zamora, and representatives of the City and Guilds of both Holy Week and Puerto Mazarron.
