Last Friday, Águilas celebrated the day of its Patron, the Virgen de los Dolores;
a festival that came preceded by the traditional Serenade to the Virgin that the Aguileño Musical Board offered Thursday night at the doors of the church of San José and culminated with the hymn of the city and an exciting collection of the Virgin among the applause of a whole town.
The day of Friday of Dolores began with the visit of the first aquiline mayor, Mari Carmen Moreno, next to the mayor of Cemeteries, Isabel Fernández, and the president of the Brotherhood and Brotherhood of Our Lady the Virgin of Dolores, José Cáceres, to the municipal cemetery.
There, next to the image of the Dolorosa placed last year, deposited a floral center.
Later, the ceremonies began with a solemn concelebrated Mass presided over by Emilio Andrés Sánchez, rector of the Sanctuary of Veracruz and preacher of the Holy Week of Aguileña.
After the mass, the most colorful moment of the day was lived: the floral offering in which thousands of aquilines, dressed in traditional costumes, honored their Patroness with flowers;
a gesture that was accompanied by the performance of the Association of Friends of Traditions and the inauguration of the Day Fair, an initiative launched last year by the Vocalia de Juventud del Paso Azul.
The day ended with the traditional procession of the Patron on the shoulders of her bearers;
an act to which the rain gave a truce allowing costaleros, manolas, musical groups and flags of the Brotherhoods to walk to the Virgen de los Dolores through the streets of their town.
