Tonight the Board of Brotherhoods has chosen Pedro María Ferrández García as a preacher of the Holy Week in Cartagena 2020.
As usual, his decision has been communicated primarily by the four older brothers to the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, who has been in charge of giving the news to the chosen person and the media.
The mayor has highlighted the humility and simplicity with which she has received the order and has assured that she will make a good proclamation, as she deserves the Holy Week of Cartagena, next February 29 in the auditorium of El Batel.
This date will be precisely one of the singularities of this act, when falling in leap year.
For his part, elder brother Marrajo and chairman of the board, Francisco Pagán.
He has recounted the merits of Pedro María Ferrández García, who have weighed when making the decision.
Among them his long processionary tradition and member of one of the families of roots in the Holy Week.
In addition to being general commissioner and chronicler marrajo, Ferrández is the son of former brother marrajo for 8 years, Pedro Ferrández Flores;
son of the former Nazarene, María del Carmen García Lorca, and brother of the city's official chronicler Juan Ignacio Ferrández García.
The preacher's choice has been made for a few years in advance to prepare his speech.
The designation of the Nazarene major, meanwhile, will be made a few days before the start of Lent, Ash Wednesday.
