By Advisor. Filed in Florida |
Holy week
Put simply , so that we all comprehend, the Holy Week of Seville is the staging of the Passion of Christ in different episodes which are shown in the realistic sculptures to Apartamentos Sevilla that are front photographs in the massive carriages accompanied by nazarenos, members of abrotherhood ; penitents. The origin was discovered in the doctrines of the Council of Trent. First they adopted the form of a method of the cross, later the special attention to certain photographs ended in the creation of spiritual associations. During the Baroque period they worked as a base for organizations of guild nature and so they kept the names of the guilds as their reason for their origin ; the bakers, the negroes, the cart users

The next step was when these brotherhoods became the main bonding component of the community or the parish. While La Macarena, San Bernardo, San Julian are among the oldest brotherhoods, San Gonzalo, Tiro de Linea, Nervion are farmore current, all of them share identical concept of neighbourhood and brotherhood. In any case and independent of the historic origin of each society, at the present, the main need of these spiritual associations is to bring their members during the penitence period from their headquarters or chapel to the urban Cathedral and from there back to their church.
Though seen from an exactly spiritual viewpoint, the most important thing is to come to the Cathedral and return, in fact it is more involved than that since all confraternities have to pass thru what it is called the Official Route. This covers from piazza de la Campana de la Catedral passing thru Streets Sierpes, plaza de San Francisco, Avenida de la Constitucin, before they enter the Cathedral thru the Gate of San Miguel and leave again thru Street Palos which leads out onto square Virgen de los Reyes. All fraternities have to do the same route. Along the route you can hire a chair to see the processions, either by buying a weekly or daily ticket, costs differ from daily and depending on the chairs location.
during the journey there are 3 controls to test that each society follows the set time schedules. At the street La Campana they find the time control of the General Council of Brotherhoods and Fraternities of Seville, somebody that takes note of the quantity of brotherhoods, both the so-called Penitence and Glory. Lately this street has become the best spot to see from the Aparameto Sevilla the different brotherhoods and finding a place to view from is almost not possible. The second control, carried out by the citys authorities, is located in piazza de San Francisco also called Palcos which is socially speaking the most important place to see the fraternities. Here access is limited to them accompanied by a member from the stage. The last control is done by the ecclesiastic authorities at the entrance of the Cathedral.
This route is scheduled prior to the procession and is subject to aparticularly stern time schedule which can’t be changed. If for any reason, like weather or agreater force the procession can’t be finished the float is cancelled and the society will have to wait a complete year and try it again.
