04/07/18 Holy Week 2019 in Las Torres de Cotillas has already officially started.
He did it on the night of Saturday, April 6 at the Church of Our Lady of La Salceda with the proclamation of Rafael Fuentes, belonging to the Confraternity of the Holy Woman Veronica and Santísimo Cristo de la Caída.
A day in which the traditional tribute was previously held at the Monumento al Nazareno with a floral offering and in which the Torreñas brotherhoods paid homage to their Elder Brothers.
Fuentes, general manager of the logistics company Grupo Fuentes, reviewed his memories of these religious celebrations and highlighted the importance they have for him and his family.
"Rafael, whose appointment had the unanimous agreement of the Board of Directors, is a person closely linked to Holy Week and has been supporting it for years to maximize its good development and splendor", explains the president of the Cabildo Superior de Cofradías, Juan José Ruiz.
Rafael Callejas, Nazarene of the Year
In addition, the Cabildo also honored another figure of Holy Week, the Nazarene of the Year, which this year is Rafael Callejas.
"She belongs to the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Sorrows for half a century and very active in the organization of the processional processions of our Holy Week," reports Ruiz.
Born in the Albacete municipality of Hellín in 1945, he settled in Las Torres de Cotillas in 1971 and a year later would join his Brotherhood.
Since then his work in favor of collaborating in the aggrandizement of Holy Week has been intense and constant.
"It is a living memory of the local Holy Week, a first-hand witness to the genesis of its processions as we know them today and a tireless worker focused on the magnification of their parades," says the president of the Cabildo.
