The images of San José and San Benito paraded through the streets of Vícar last Sunday, marking the end of a Holy Week full of emotion and tradition. Mayor Antonio Bonilla emphasized the crucial citizen participation and the efforts of local brotherhoods and confraternities.
Throughout the week, the different neighborhoods of the municipality experienced moments of contemplation and solemnity, culminating in the processions of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. This success is attributed to the "excellent planning, rehearsal, and coordination work" between the Vícar City Council and the brotherhoods of the Santísimo Cristo de la Paz and Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (La Gangosa), as well as the Santísimo Cristo de la Esperanza and the Virgen de la Pasión (Puebla de Vícar).
“"The participation of citizens and the essential drive of our brotherhoods and confraternities has been key."
Mayor Antonio Bonilla also acknowledged the work of the Agrupación Musical Virgen de las Angustias for their accompaniment and harmonization of the events. The involvement of all of Vícar's society, with the presence of grandparents, parents, and children, demonstrates the continuity of these deeply rooted traditions.
From the Citizen Security Area, the impeccable work of the Local Police and Civil Protection was highlighted, ensuring that the residents of Vícar could fully enjoy their celebrations. With the farewell of Holy Week on Easter Sunday and the celebration of San Benito, the municipality ushers in the start of its neighborhood festive calendar for 2026.
