ZARAGOZA, 14 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The 25 brotherhoods of Zaragoza seek to reach a thousand subscribers each to be able to broadcast their acts of Holy Week live and broadcast them on this platform, since this year there will not be processions due to the pandemic, but certain capacity is allowed in churches and at events abroad.
Of the 25 that are part of the Cofradías Coordinating Board, only 5 have reached this figure of a thousand subscribers, which is the condition established by ‘YouTube’ to be able to broadcast live. These are the brotherhoods of La Piedad, El Arquemiento, Las Siete Palabras, El Señor Ttado a la Columna, and Humildad.
The rest, up to 19 brotherhoods, have between 300 and 800 subscribers, but they do not meet the requirement of one thousand, so the Coordinating Board of Brotherhoods calls on the brotherhoods to subscribe not only to their channel. own brotherhood but to those of the other 24 brotherhoods, and also extends this request to bidders and citizens in general.
Only the brotherhood of Verónica has dispensed with creating its own ‘YouTube’ channel and has chosen to use that of the parish of Carmen to which it belongs.
Those interested only have to access the official channel of ‘YouTube’ of the Coordinator of the Board of Brotherhoods’https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP0BVV_wJ_mZmCYq5xsN7lA‘and enter the’ subscribe ‘icon, which is done quickly and for free. From there you can access the links of each of the 25 brotherhoods.
If the 25 brotherhoods reach the minimum of 1,000 subscribers, they will be able to broadcast live the videos they make during the different days of Holy Week, since the videos recorded or programmed for a certain time can be posted freely without complying with this requirement of the platform ‘YouTube’.
“MORE PREPARED”
The vice president of the Coordinating Board of Brotherhoods of Zaragoza, Nacho García Aguaviva, has trusted in being able to reach this minimum of one thousand subscribers, and has encouraged to “help us among all the brotherhoods” to offer a varied offer of acts, such as prayers or Eucharists, that in Zaragoza they have a “large number of followers”.
García Aguaviva recalled that a campaign has been carried out through the Coordinating Board so that all the brotherhoods subscribe to the others and has hoped to achieve the objective.
The brotherhoods have been preparing their alternative proposals to a Holy Week without processions for months, in order to expose the most representative carvings of the Passion of Christ in the churches, so that citizens can contemplate them.
In statements to Europa Press, García Aguaviva recalled that it is the second year that Holy Week cannot be celebrated in the street, but he explained that this year is different compared to 2020, which “caught everyone locked up” and only could go to the broadcasts of videos recorded from the houses with images saved from previous years and the proclamation was broadcast by radio.
“This year we have prepared more and the situation is different” because events can be held although with capacity restrictions, such as entering the churches to see the steps, he has compared. García Aguaviva has considered that although it continues to be a “non-normal” situation, it is not as drastic as with the hundred-day home confinement.
The vice president of the Coordinating Board of Brotherhoods of Zaragoza has urged to “keep the flame of Holy Week burning” because it is a religious and spiritual moment that “continues to be lived with intensity” and although it is not possible to live on the street “there is no total emptiness “because from the brotherhoods a” carousel of ideas and proposals “has sprung up, which are analyzed with the Coordinating Board.
QUESTION
The proclamation will be broadcast, on March 27, by ‘streaming’ not only by ‘YouTube’ but also by social networks to facilitate its dissemination. It will be pronounced by the Madrid priest Antonio España Sánchez, who is the superior of the canonical province of the Society of Jesus, since July 2017.
It will take place in the church of the Seminary of San Carlos in a ceremony with a reduced capacity to which only authorities and the older brothers of the 25 brotherhoods will attend.
