On April 27, 1677, 343 years have passed since San Ginés de la Jara was elected patron of the city of Cartagena, after attending the response to the prayers of all Cartagena who suffered a serious epidemic that affected especially children and adults.
.On the occasion of this anniversary each year the Brotherhood of San Ginés de la Jara, which has D.
Victor Javier Navarro Iñíguez as its Big Brother, carries out numerous cultural, religious and solidarity events to celebrate this important date for the history of our city port.This year, due to the epidemic that is ravaging the planet, all events have been canceled, although on the 27th there will be a mass and a prayer, presided over by the Rev.
Mr.
Lázaro Gomariz López, which will be broadcast through TeleCartagena.Since 2017, His Majesty King Felipe VI has held the position of Honorary Big Brother, for which reason he was notified of this situation, sending a very special message for this occasion to all Cartagena:"As Honorary Elder Brother of the Brotherhood of San Ginés de la Jara, I join all the confreres in wishing that the Patron Saint, as he did in 1677, protect Cartagena from the effects of the current pandemic"
