Great international repercussion of Holy Week in Cieza
Different international media have echoed the different activities, mainly virtual, that Holy Week in Cieza has called and celebrated this April.
Thousands of people from all over the planet live Easter in Cieza with Passion through Social Networks and Television
• Success of the retransmissions of special programs and specifically of the Good Friday acts reproduced in the Capitol Theater, seen through the Networks from Mexico, Colombia, the United States, Peru or Germany. • More than 60,000 people watched the special programming for Good Friday through Murcian regional television.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (XVI) - Easter
In the last installment of these Echoes of "El Anda" the spiritual director of the Nazarene Ciezana family, the priest José Antonio García López, takes the floor. And he does it with that pastoral clarity that his parishioners know well, and that he does not leave a dark corner in which one can hide from the Lord. As a closure of this series of collaborations, our Counselor speaks to us about hope and Resurrection, inviting us to live Easter this year 2021 intensely.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (XV) - The immortality of social networks
For some time now, the inexhaustible possibilities of telematics and global communication are helping Holy Week to have an active and continuous life beyond the glorious parenthesis between Ramos and Easter. Pedro José Tortosa and Jorge Carretero, two young brothers unafraid of the responsibilities of the front line, reflect on this reality and put an accurate focus on the value of social networks as custodians of the history of Holy Week in Cieza.
ECHOES OF "EL ANDA" (XIV) - A snapshot of Friday of Sorrows
He continues to wear his purple tunic, he catapulted Holy Week in Cieza into the 21st century dressed in black, but the truth is that Rafael Salmerón never left the gaze of the child who saw the Saints go by. Now that look has curdled with seniority and a certain aesthetic delight. That is why he can speak to us about yesterday and today about Friday of Dolores with the criteria of someone who knows how to enjoy nostalgia without drowning out the full experience of what the present offers at the end of Ciezana's Lent.
ECHOES OF "EL ANDA" (XIII) - The Storehouse of Memory
To these Echoes that follow in the wake of our beloved magazine El Anda comes the Nazarene chronicle of the year 2020, historical in a way that we would never have imagined. Mª Ginesa Martínez and Josefa Salinas, who lived through the arrival of the pandemic from the front row of the responsibilities of the brothers, tell us, in a reinvented Memorandum exercise, how the life of brotherhood, the meetings of the directives and the Easter all.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (XII) - The last exit from the “José de Arimathea” pass?
Tolkien already said that not even the wisest of the wise knows the end of all roads. At each intersection, at each decision that is made, there are many futures that fade into the nothingness of what never was. Pedro García, a Samaritan in robes and in heart, invites us to reflect prudently and fairly on the historical role that the "José de Arimathea" step has had in the Brotherhood, which will be replaced after almost three decades summoning the brothers in every Good Friday night.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (XI) - A “solo” in the dark
Holy Week in Cieza, even asleep, never stops inventing small miracles. Also in 2020, that year when everything fell apart in the middle of Lent. Hope sometimes has no form, only sound... the incomparable sound of music.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (X) - Twenty years later
What happened in 2001 was simply historic. No Ciezano processionist will ever be able to forget the feeling of fullness of that Easter, after verifying to what extent the experience of living Our Week had grown in depth and intensity with the two new processions, the Via Crucis of the Blood and the Descent of Christ into the hells. Joaquín Martínez had the privilege of experiencing first-hand the genesis and development of two projects that changed Holy Week in Ciez forever.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (IX) - Infinite Lent
He had, and still has, the most beautiful commission that a ciezo can receive. He gave himself to the task in body and soul, looking for the best way to announce to the brothers the arrival of the Great Days. But history got in the way, and the Holy Week Proclamation in Cieza by José Antonio Gázquez continues to hope for a Passion Sunday in which everything will once again dress in illusion. He is no longer in charge of announcing the 2020 processions, but something much more important: he is the herald of the Return of Holy Week.
ECHOES OF “EL ANDA” (VIII) - The flower, a servant
The gold, the flower, the wood. Sumptuousness, ephemeral art, heritage. Our processions are inconceivable without the thrones debuting that brilliant and colorful costume provided by the florists and that singles out each outing with inexhaustible creativity. Juan Fernández, a member of the "El Anda" and Art Commission, focuses on the relationship, which was not always well suited, between the floral arrangement, carved ornamentation and its conservation. It is the difficult art, in order to find the right measure.
