The Corpus Christi procession has begun in Sevilla, marking one of the most significant and ancient religious celebrations in Andalusia. The Sacred Monstrance, a masterpiece of Renaissance goldsmithing by Juan de Arfe, is the undisputed protagonist of this event parading through the city's historic center.

The procession departed at 8:15 AM from the Puerta de San Miguel of the Cathedral, with the traditional 'niños carráncanos' leading the way. The Monstrance began its main route after 10:30 AM, carried by 'costaleros', a tradition recently revived.

This year, the route features a significant change announced by the Cathedral Chapter: the procession will no longer pass through Cuesta del Bacalao (Argote de Molina street). After going through Francos street, the procession will continue straight along Placentines street to the main entrance of the metropolitan temple, thus recovering the original historical layout.

The complete itinerary includes Avenida de la Constitución, Plaza de San Francisco, Sierpes, Cerrajería, Cuna, Plaza del Salvador, Villegas, Francos, Placentines, Cardenal Carlos Amigo Vallejo, and Plaza Virgen de los Reyes. The Monstrance is expected to return to the Cathedral through the Puerta de los Palos around 12:20 PM.

The procession involves nearly 4,000 participants, including civil, religious, and military representatives. Nine processional floats, each managed by a Sevillian brotherhood, parade through the old town's streets. The retinue concludes with ecclesiastical authorities, the municipal corporation, and an honor guard company.

In the Plaza de San Francisco, this year's ephemeral altars pay tribute to the brotherhoods of Montserrat and the Virgen del Amparo de la Magdalena.
