Hermandad
De Ntra. Señora De La Soledad Y El
Resucitado
There is no record of when it was founded. The brotherhood has always carried three images in its processions: San Juan, Jesús Resucitado (popularly known as the Niño Perdido) and Nuestra Señora de la Soledad. Until well into the 20th century, it had its place of worship in the Santo Sepulcro Hermitage. In 1946, the brotherhood was reorganised. This brotherhood has managed to preserve the traditions of their ancestors in an extraordinary way, remaining faithful to their roots.
El Encuentro
The three images are carried one by one to the Plaza de la Constitución. The first image to arrive is that of San Juan, followed by the Jesús Resucitado and finally the Soledad.
Each one stands in a street, all facing to the Plaza de la Constitución. Accompanied by the Royal March, San Juan begins to walk and meets the image of Jesús, to whom he bows, then steps back and quickly goes to find the Virgin to tell her the news. When he finds her, he bows, and then these processional thrones run in parallel at a brisk pace towards the position where the processional throne of Jesús is located and “El Encuentro” takes place, the peak of the ceremony. Everyone who has witnessed this moment is part of the most meaningful aspect of our Holy Week.
Then, the procession begins, touring the old town amid applause and fireworks. The processional thrones are simple and light, an essential condition to be able to stage the ceremony of El Encuentro. This act marks the end of Holy Week in Cuevas del Almanzora.
