In reference to the Nazarene Major 2020, Manoli Borrego, recalled that he repeats his mandate in the presidency of the Coronation, and highlighted "his great work within his brotherhood and in his group."

The older brother Marrajo also stressed that, “with this appointment, which you deserve so much, you represent so many mothers of Cartagena families and so many women who have an outstanding role in our beloved Holy Week, where the thrust of women is so strong that it allows that little by little we reach full equality cofrade �.

PREGÓN DE PEDRO MARÃ�A FERRÁNDEZ AND CONSOLATION WORDS OF MANOLI BORREGO

'You are not aware, it is impossible, but one night the beat of a beaten drum startled you in the womb of your mother â€�, Pedro María Ferrández began the proclamation of Holy Week with reference to the brotherly roots of his family, who have accompanied him throughout his career as a processionist.

“You say a music woke me up and then numb me.

Surely it was like that.

From that night on, their sounds have been acting as a spring to talk to me all my life. �

Pedro María Ferrández highlights the music of the processions of the Holy Week in Cartagena that flood the streets of the city.

A very sentimental and profound proclamation where he has toured some of his experiences as a processionist since his childhood.

Pedro María Ferrández thanked the Brotherhood Board, the elder brothers and the member brothers “because you wanted me to be a preacher of Holy Week in my city.

And in heaven someone is even more immensely grateful.

Thanks from my heart".

"On Ash Wednesday, in his music and his announcer catwalk, I can clearly set the beginning of the Passion path and the beginning of my procession," Ferrández said.

The crier has also toured the origins of Holy Week, "by the hand of the twentieth century his aesthetics are fully profiled and allows us today to consider our unique and unique processions."

“Holy Week comes into your life and begins to beat when you go out to meet him as a child and catch you.

Faith will come later, but you will be his.

And something will have to do with the tunic that your parents knotted at your waist with pockets full of a precious booty of candies, postcards and prints, sweets and souvenirs, adding each other even more tradition and uniqueness to it �.

Pedro María Ferrández explains in an emotional proclamation the passion that a child lives when he enters Holy Week, something that comes to him from a very young age, by his father, Pedro Ferrández Flores, who was the elder brother of his brotherhood and his mother, María del Carmen García Lorca, Nazarena Mayor.

“This is my Holy Wednesday as long as yours was before.

You transmitted it to me and instructed me in the mystery of courtship, �the preacher recounted the influence his father had on his career.

The Brotherhood of Our Father Jesus Nazareno has had a very important role in the proclamation, since it is the brotherhood of Pedro María Ferrández, where he is currently curator and chronicler.

At the end of the proclamation he remembered how his mother prepared him with "immense love" the habit of Nazarene.

“My mother is the greatest processionist in our house.

From my mother I have received as much Holy Week as from my father.

Without my mother nothing would have been possible. �

After the proclamation, the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, has delivered a plaque and a golden shield to Pedro María Ferrández, and the traditional brooch and plaque to the Nazarene, Manoli Borrego.

Also last year's Nazarene, María Consolación Pavía Galán, has given her predecessor a bouquet of flowers as a symbolic relief.

Manoli Borrego, has begun his speech thanking “the brave ones who have proposed and accepted my appointment as Nazarena Mayor, because brave must be to choose someone like me, who receives from your hands a totally unexpected honor, clearly undeserved and fully atypical. "

Manoli Borrego was named older sister on February 20, 2020.

The president of the California group of the Coronation of Thorns has toured its beginnings, “my humble history only dates back to December 1995, when after pointing my son the oldest to the third child of The Coronation of Thorns, for domino effect, I fell after proposing then to become part of the third owner, and can participate from that moment in the most magical night for a Californian, and one of the most impressive for any brotherhood: Holy Wednesday. �

Finally, he affirmed that "this award recognizes the cofrade work, yes, I say" cofrade "and I don't put" woman's "first, because few words occur to me that are as inclusive as this one," cofrade ", that with gender neutral we It matches and dignifies us all. �
