Córdoba
Keep
For now no more loans from glow of the virgin. The archconfraternity of Carmen de San Cayetano has just decided that it will not transfer this element of its image to other brotherhoods that request it by the part status.
In a release issued on Wednesday August 4, the governing board explains that the splendor of Nuestra Señora del Carmen Coronada «is suffering a increasing deterioration, which has been aggravated by continuous departures from our headquarters ».
It is a piece made of wood bathed in gold leaf to mid 19th centuryWhen the Virgin was raised to the dressing room, they made a reform in it and introduced the glow escorting the sacred image.
All this in the context of Confiscation, when the brotherhood is in charge of watching over her and the convent by not having frailes at that time, according to sources from the arch-brotherhood consulted by ABC.
Hinges
From its origin, the glow is conceived with a hinge system which “allows you to open it in half.” This facilitated the movements of the Virgin, especially when she had to be dressed or lowered into the presbytery.
In recent months there have been “numerous” brotherhoods from different parts of Andalusia that have requested it, but now “for the good of its conservation It will not be transferred again for an indefinite period of time ”, assures the arch-brotherhood.
Many assignments
In fact, in previous occasions It has been left to the brotherhoods of Córdoba and Seville (such as the Estrella, who used it during some services to the Lord of Sorrows). The loans of patrimony are habitual between brotherhoods for the cults and even the processions.
Carmen recalls that it is characterized «for being generous and open to everyone who has needy both from the charitable and patrimonial point of view ”.
The glow is “one of the heritage pieces that accompany and give personality to Nuestra Señora del Carmen Coronada ». It is the one used in the early days of the ninth for the festivity of Carmen. And also in May in the convent of Santa Ana for the canonical coronation of Saint Joseph, on an altar prepared by this corporation of glory.
