Easter Sunday: last day of Holy Week in Alcalá

2014 Holy Week says goodbye to Alcalá with the last two major events: the Easter Sunday procession and the Easter Celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus.

Liturgical Acts in the Magisterial Cathedral

12:30 h. Easter Celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus

Easter Sunday Procession

Brotherhood of “Ntro. Padre Jesús Resucitado y Ntra. Sra. de la Salud y el Perpetuo Socorro”

Starting: 07.30 h Meeting: 12.00 h.

Canonical venue: Holy and Illustrious Magisterial Cathedral.

Historical Reference: The brotherhood founded on April 8th of 2012. Most of the founders were nurses working in the ER of the Community of Madrid. In harmony with the firemen, civil defense, and local and national police of the city, they represented the profession of emergency services in that city. That feeling is identified with the work performed by the religious congregation living in the same city, Siervas de María—minister of ill people, who asked permission to Rome to achieve the congregation to be the visible image of the brotherhood. Some months after in a Mass in its canonical venue, they were made honor sisters of the brotherhood. Eleven month after its foundation, the bishop of the diocese of Alcalá de Henares, Mr Juan Antonio Reig Pla, signed the statutes making them the new brotherhood of the Complutensian city.

Floats:
Nuestro Padre Jesús Resucitado: Image donated by the City Hall in collaboration with  the Board of Brotherhoods of the City. The Image of our Father Jesus was made in workshops of Granada specialized in sacred art.
