Another type of Santeria

In Lucena, municipality of Cordoba (Spain), is called Santeria to the way in procession to take pictures at Easter and other holidays taking them on the shoulder between several people. The horquillos, chicotás are shorter than those in other cities as the procession take only between 24 and 28 Santeria (laborers and bearers in other areas). In Lucena processions change every year of Santeria. Each year is given the ring (this is sounded to put the procession in a fork and rest the shoulder) to a Manijero, santea person and is responsible for touch and this warning by inviting their best santeros santear. Also not tested; simply do together (small events) in which the Manijero indicates how it will go the holy sites occupy santeros, the pace is going to take the drum, which is replaced by the bands of the bearers, and the last board meeting which is the brand. In this santeros places are marked on their wedges to make them your height and that when they put the saint in the shoulder it is level. Until the big day comes out to the street, santeros are dressed in a special way to the house of Manijero two hours before departure of the procession. When everyone goes for coffee at a bar with the drummers playing a certain step forward and Torralbo, a special cornet, if any. When finished making coffee are directed to the temple with a pillow under his arm (there manijeros who prefer to tie the pads in advance but usually not done) and when they attach to the shoulder hurt less. When the procession goes out, is brought to the knees of Santeria, the left in the soil and the shoulder can take two forms:In a time: Manijero shouts "you are" in a corner and see that everyone is ready and shout "posts", at which time the yells Manijero "shoulder" and the saint rises from a pull to the shoulder. This form is only performed in the Christs.In three stages: the same operation occurs but this time the cries Manijero "the thighs" (knees) "the bleeding" (chest) "shoulder" this is done with all the virgins and some much heavier Christs.And now is when they divide the forks. When enclosing the saint repeated the last operation we have seen in reverse: The Manijero shouts "fork out" to "bleeding" "the thighs" "down" and finally "OUR FATHER ALIVE! " OR "OUR MOTHER ALIVE!" and enter the procession back to the temple at the knees.Deshacer cambios
