The rural Thanksgiving procession has toured this Saturday the fairground of La Barca de la Florida with eleven brotherhoods and parish associations, accompanied by music bands. The event has been held for the preservation of human lives and for the strength and solidarity shown by the residents of the rural area during the floods of last February, in which there was no loss of human life to mourn.
The proceeds from the 400 chairs enabled to watch the passing of the different floats will go entirely to the charity funds of these corporations, as pointed out by the mayor of Jerez, María José García-Pelayo, who has congratulated the participating brotherhoods and the attending public.
Pontifical Mass and buses
Before the procession, a pontifical mass was held at the fairground, officiated by the bishop of the Diocese, Monsignor Rico Pavés, accompanied by the San Pedro Nolasco Chapel Choir. The mayor attended accompanied by members of the municipal Government.
The Jerez City Council had made available to the public a special bus service to facilitate travel to this religious celebration, with connections from Jerez and from various autonomous local entities and rural neighborhoods, as reported by the Consistory on Friday, November 6.
People who wish to collaborate with the charity funds of the brotherhoods can do so through the 400 chairs enabled to watch the passing of the different floats, whose proceeds go entirely to this purpose.
Shall we let you know what matters?
