Throughout the week the brothers, faithful and devotees of the neighborhood came to the parish to venerate their patron saint, San jose workerbut on the afternoon of the first Sunday in May, the saint visited all of them in procession.
This is possibly the most important day in the neighborhood. Everyone will see San José Obrero as an authentic celebration of an image that gives name to a parish, a brotherhood and an entire parish; few can say that.
Since I was a child, in the neighborhood, whether we like the brotherhoods or not, It is transmitted on the day of the saint’s departure, something that continues to happen over time. Families go out to the streets to see him, they return to the neighborhood and before returning to their homes they do not miss the appointment.
There were tired faces after so much work done in recent days. That was not an impediment to seeing the happy faces of his brothers, It was time to enjoy. The priest came out to the lectern to say a prayer and make way for the opening of the temple doors. The procession began, made up of a large procession, as was the attendance at this outing.
Antonio Santiago He commanded the crew while in the background it sounded the group of Gypsies, He performed the saint’s hymn, a lyric that almost everyone sang at the exit. It was the beginning of a splendid afternoon in the neighborhood. Sevilla shirts the first few moments. The football fans did not want to miss the procession before the game, as it could not be otherwise.
There were fireworks, petalada, sevillanas on the key street of the procession, Jabugo, a street in mourning for the non-physical presence of Manuel Ruiz de Lopera, a faithful of the saint, who this time saw him from a privileged place.
The cults of the saint were closed, but not the activity of a brotherhood that does not understand stopping because it maintains a daily life worth knowing for everyone. They do not stop organizing activities, carrying out projects, working, teaching, giving to those who need it, whatever the time of year. This is San José Obrero.
