The General Board of Brotherhoods and Brotherhoods of the Holy Week of Ferrol will celebrate next Saturday the 15th the procession in honor of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel.
It is a parade that the entity instituted last year and that fully fits with the seafaring character of the city. The Carmen procession will leave on Saturday at 20:00 hours from chapel of mercy. It will skirt the Plaza de Amboage until Calle Real, through which it will continue towards Ferrol Vello through Espartero. It will then run through Merced and Socorro streets and then take Marina and Espíritu Santo avenues to enter the Arsenal through the Park Gate. The parade, which will be accompanied by the music of Acotaga, will end there with a Floral offering at the Arsenal quay in memory of all people killed at seawith a special memory for those who die in the boats trying to achieve the dream of having a better life.
The Virgen del Carmen will stay that night in the Arsenal Weapons Room and it will be located on Sunday morning next to the Cross of the Fallen, presiding over the acts of the Navy. The Port Authority organizes, with the collaboration of the Board, the maritime procession that will take place this afternoon. At 7:00 p.m. the parade will go through the Puerta de la Cortina and will go along the quay to the boarding place, where there will be space for the public can view the maritime procession from land or embark. Upon his return, the retreat will be in the Socorro church.
The procession of the Virgen del Carmen is a tradition that the Junta de Cofradías in Ferrol wants to consolidate, after more than 70 years since it was last held. For this, the brotherhoods commissioned the image maker negri acevedo, author also of other carvings of Ferrol’s Holy Week, the realization of a candlestick image that represents the Virgen del Carmen with her Child in her arms. The premiere was scheduled to take place earlier, in the summer of 2020, but the pandemic disrupted the initial plans and it was delayed until 2022.
