Pilgrimage with the Cristo de las Penas in Torreciudad

Yesterday Friday afternoon and today Saturday morning we have hosted a very special pilgrimage: the Chapel of the Christ of Sorrows, from the church of San Juan del Hospital de Valencia, has come from the city of Turia with replicas in polychrome wood of the oldest images of this temple (s.XII y XIV), that for the first time have come out on litters and in procession, precisely in Torreciudad: the Christ of Sorrows, Virgin Mary and Saint John the Evangelist. These are the oldest processional images of Holy Week in the Valencian Community.

The acts began yesterday with a procession with the three carvings through the northern arcades of the esplanade, carried on the shoulders by young people and members of the Capilla del Cristo de las Penas dressed in processional costumes. Arriving at church, the "Act of Collection" has been carried out, a time of prayer before Jesus, Maria and Juan, placed to the right of the chancel for the veneration of pilgrims. Today Saturday the faithful have participated in the Holy Mass, concelebrated by the rector of the church of San Juan del Hospital, Carlos Cremades, and the rector of Torreciudad, Angel Lasheras, and later the procession of the "Encounter" with the image of the Virgin and the Blessed Sacrament under a canopy took place.
