In the Church of Santa Maria de Gracia was held on Saturday the feast of the Virgen del Rosell, the former patron saint of Cartagena, in the course of which, the Municipal Corporation renewed their vows at the Four Saints Cartageneros, San Isidro, San Fulgencio, San Leandro and Santa Florentina.
The ceremony began with a concelebrated Mass presided over by the vicar general of the diocese of Cartagena, Miguel Angel Prisons Prisons.
A representation of the Corporation, headed by Councilman Social Care, Antonio Calderón, kept his traditional vow made over 300 years ago, during the storm of Santa Catalina, Four Saints and joining with other associations and organizations in the city also made an offering to the Virgen del Rosell.
As you may recall the origin of the Four votive function Saints dates back to the night of November 24, 1694, the day of Santa Catalina, when a storm hit the city and nearly destroyed.
Miraculously it was not and was attributed to the protection of the Four Saints.
The Corporation decided to hold every year an act of gratitude to the Four Saints and the Virgin del Rosell, who has been doing since then.
La Virgen del Rosell and Four Saints are the oldest religious invocations of the municipality of Cartagena and are common in the annals of history to find the holding prayers and processions with which the Cartagena asked or gave thanks for their protection from threats or disasters.
Seven years ago the parish of Santa Maria de Gracia recovered the celebration of the feast of the Virgen del Rosell in early November, with a massive outcry and an offering of various associations in the city.
The City Council wanted to return the character that was originally popular Votive Function and in coordination with the parish of Santa Maria agreed four years ago to join his celebration of the Virgen del Rosell, to which the invocation of the Four Saints has always been linked.
In addition to the function at Four Municipal Votive Santos Saturday's ceremony included the usual cry of exaltation to the Virgen del Rosell, which this year was given by Miguel Angel Cuevas de Aldasoro and a wreath by the authorities, civil organizations, fraternities , associations, religious associations, faithful and devoted in general.
