"Easter is not now the illusion of youth"
Joaquin takes 37 years belonging to the Brotherhood of San Juan de Las Torres de Cotillas
How did you receive the news that he had been chosen "Nazareno of the Year"?
I received a surprise, very excited because Easter is very important to me.
I have many years belonged to the Superior Council of the Brotherhood eight as president and 12 as treasurer.
Do you live very intensely the Holy Week of his people?
Yes, since childhood.
All life I carry within Easter since my parents' house is the only one left in the village attached to the Our Lady of Salceda Church.
I was ten or eleven year collaborating as an altar boy and, after this stage, I spent part of the processions.
I am now treasurer of the Brotherhood of San Juan.
If you were to meet with a time of Easter Cotillas Towers, what would it be?
Choose the procession of Easter Sunday because it is the most live here, when the meeting is held.
It is very beautiful, one that I like.
Do you think people live in the same way today Easter a few years ago?
Not because young people no longer pulls him so much that, choose other things, go to the beach or anywhere else.
Easter is not now the illusion of youth.
There are people who do like it, but it is not normal, much as we liked people my age do not.
What is the best memory of the Holy Week of your childhood?
I not stay with one.
It's something I've always lived from within and my memories are all good.
Is the processional tradition deeply rooted in the municipality?
Here people have lived long Easter, more than in other towns.
Our elders began with great enthusiasm and we have followed that path with the same desire.
What guild feels more identified?
With the Brotherhood of San Juan, that since life is mine, but I am of all the brotherhoods, where I'm needed there.
