Death of Antonio Galindo Tormo

"History mourns the loss of the men who forged it".

Today, he has left us to live the eternal dream, a lover of his people, a champion and benefactor of its traditions, and an enthusiastic processionist.

We at the Board of Passion Brotherhoods of Cieza deeply regret the passing of Don Antonio Galindo Tormo, who served as president of this institution between 1973 and 1979.

He assumed command at a time when bringing the saints out onto the streets was almost a miracle; refusing to turn his shoulder while the staff gave way, and ensuring, with determination and courage, the survival and continuity of our processions during one of the greatest crises in its history. For this reason, he was honored in 2008 as the Nazarene of the Year for Holy Week in Cieza.

This was a period of extreme hardship, but it was carried out against all odds, with determination and great sacrifices of every kind.

His dedication, commitment, and love for our Passion traditions, which were constant throughout his life, have been a role model for countless processionists and a giant of Holy Week in the 1970s.

His voice fades, but his example remains with us, the memory of a continually outstretched hand; of eyes shining with will and experience; of that Ciezan genius capable of doing the best possible for our Holy Week.

His example will remain alive in the collective memory of this Board of Brotherhoods and in the history of Holy Week in Cieza, and will be an inspiration for future generations of brothers, as it has been for those fortunate enough to share a section of the Nazarene path with Don Antonio.

On behalf of all the Brotherhoods, we offer a prayer for the eternal repose of his soul and extend our deepest condolences to his family and friends.

"Your memory will remain eternal in the hearts of Holy Week in Cieza and its people".

May the Lord of the Fall welcome you into his glory. Rest in peace, President.
