The Honourable and Reverend Fray Jesús Sanz Montes, Bishop of Jaca and Huesca Easter proclamation Jumilla, which claimed to be a meeting point between 'the procession inside and outside the procession. "
The preacher was introduced by the Father Superior of the convent of Santa Ana Fray Francisco Oliver Alcon, as Fray Jesús Sanz Montes also belongs to the Franciscan order.
The Father Guardian, after making a review of the history of the town crier, said that "thanks to academic and learned his skills as a communicator, we will enter into the soul of the Easter Jumillano which is part of the identity of Jumilla" .
The event took place following the Eucharist presided by the bishop and took place at the parish church of Santiago in the presence of the presidents of all the brotherhoods, semanasanteros, representatives of groups and religious and civil authorities.
In the Mass Choir performed 'Ars Nova'.
Prior to this proclamation, the Bishop was received by local authorities in the municipality of Jumilla where he signed in the Book of Honor.
The Franciscan said that the failure to proclaim something that involves risk and, in response to one of its meanings, it is "publish or disclose something that was ignored, so I wonder, is that you do not know what the Jumilla Easter?, which could end up as my opening speech.
He said more than author, was a listener, "preacher of truth, beauty and goodness."
The bishop of Huesca said that "during Lent back on our journey, we are on the eve of Easter and do not want that time passes unnoticed, because every year there is an inflection that is individual, because we are not the same and behind the eyes that will ever see these processions there are new stories. "
He said that "in the procession of life there are always new steps and in the center goes God."
"Holy Week should be an opportunity for each to be placed in the procession of life, we must look at these scenes of processions as a story that was written thinking about us, we are the recipients of that well," said Fray Jesús Sanz Montes .
On this story said that "it is a story of love, the greatest story ever told, at Easter we turn to appear on that week experienced live for Jesus, that procession which will be first reflected today in our streets."
The preacher said "watching the procession of Jesus, which gave his life, we enter our own procession, a procession which paraded inside the whole truth and lies, disappointment and hope ...."
After the opening speech, the president of the Central Board of Fraternities José Carrión was presented with a replica in silver of Christ Tied to the Column Fray Jesús Sanz Montes in gratitude and remembrance of this event.
