end of Holy Week processions in Arevalo.
Of all those held, the Via Crucis is, for me, the most beautiful.
The cold of the early hours of the day - you have to leave home just after 7 am and may be completely removed from the cold night - to see even dawn, as early or late- Easter is this year, are ingredients that start, I like.
This year it was daylight, though the moon was still filling the sky, when the penitents came from the Church of the Savior, silent, orderly queue, looking for the Christ of Faith which is in the church of San Juan, where these same penitents as "lying" on the night of Holy Wednesday.
Outside the Christ of "their" church, beginning the seasons, with their prayers and their prayers. Each is marked by a very austere - this is Castilla -
A pine wooden cross on a white fabric background.
The silence is real.
The route of the procession is worthy of a tour of Arévalo.
The procession leaves from San Juan and walk to San Miguel. Hence, to the castle, leaving the left Medina Arch and bridge of the same name.
From the castle we turn to the beautiful - and I would say unknown - St. Peter's Square . Since she already spotted the towers of St. Mary and St. Martin. Soon we will be with them.
We went up the street from Santa Maria to Picote up to the arch of the tower of the church, passing under it and into Christ, by the end of the street in Santa Maria, the square de la Villa.
time for me, top of the procession; penitents in a row, the Christ of faith led to his shoulders, which accompany the procession to maintain that silence is broken, it is true, by the crotorar the stork, and the Plaza de la Villa, plaza monumental medieval square, square English, majestic square as unsurpassed scenery.
We left the square up to San Nicolas church that sadly, sooner or later, only its name.
Another plastic moment can not be beaten is to see how far behind San Martin, with its atrium, and its so-called "twin towers".
This year, to get to Santo Domingo, the next stop of the procession route "tourist" has come, for the sake of the works on the wall that has prevented the passage "along" the River Adaja, the Plaza Real, with the advantage - one thing for another - to see the procession across from City Hall, passing beneath the Arc de Alcocer, to end at the Plaza del Arrabal. Calle Santa Maria is the opening act in this picture.
Since Santo Domingo goes over the final meters to the Savior, on the street Boilermakers, with the bottom of the statue of the Sacred Heart which culminates this church of Santo Domingo.
After the procession, the Christ of faith is put in place within the church of El Salvador, the site that allows you a perspective that does not tire her. The prospect of seeing two men crucified the Christ of Faith and the Christ of the altarpiece by Juan de Juni.
then, and all dressed in "street", a chocolate with croutons, but I think that is another matter. Right?
Finally, the photos of the procession of the Cross this year I uploaded to my Flickr page.
You and the other will be all on the album "Arévalo Easter 2011"
Now same are included to the Via Crucis. I hope to finish this week begins tomorrow.
A warning: In the year 2012 there will be Stations of the Cross Arévalo .
