Our Spanish teacher, Ana is a member of the Archicofradía del Pilar-Real Cofradía de El Lavatorio in Orihuela. They have organised an extraordinary "exit" with the image of Saint Peter in his repentance for Saturday, 23rd February at 9:30pm. This is a chance to see this beautiful paso with its figures by the famous Murcian sculptor, Francisco Salzillo.
This extraordinary exit marks the 250th anniversary of the Real Archicofradía del Pilar (1758-2008) and the 250th anniversary of the sculptures that form the group of El Lavatorio; the Prince of the Apostles, washing the feet of Christ.
The paso will be taken from the Museo de Semana Santo to the Santa Iglesia Catedral de El Salvador where there will be a special service.
Ana's cofradia will of course be taking part in the parades during Semana Santa.
