The solemnity of Christ the King has one of its main points of attention in Cordoba around the return to the cult of Our Humble Father Jesus at the crowning of thorns.
The image of Francisco Buiza returns to his faithful this Saturday, November 23, after having undergone a cleaning and maintenance intervention in the workshop of the restorer Ana Infante de la Torre for a period of six months.
Everything happened within the expected margins and the image will be shown with the cleanest polychromy, as Merced’s older brother details to ABC, Pablo Jiménez.
There was no variation from what was established on the basis of the conservation report that this restoration specialist had prepared, the action was therefore limited to the adjustment of the base, to a few assemblies and, above all, cleaning, as explained by Pablo Jiménez.
The Sevillian artist created the image in 1978, and it was the first time it was subject to restoration. The long absence, which began on May 13, will end with the transfer through the streets, which will begin in the parish of Trinitarios at 6:30 p.m. to arrive at night at his temple, the parish of San Antonio de Padua. nine.
This will continue over a tensioner carried by the group of bearers of the Lord, under the orders of the foreman, Raúl Casares, and accompanied by a procession of brothers with candles. A few years ago, when the Virgen de la Merced was restored, it left the Colodro convent, but it remains closed due to the risk of collapse.
For this reason, because of the good relations with the community of religious and the brotherhoods of the Trinitarian temple and because they belong to the same archpriest, that is where he will leave.
He will hear the sounds of the cornet and the drum of the Crown of Espinas and will cross the streets of his neighborhood that he does not cross every Holy Monday.
The route is allowed and this Thursday the Town Hall plans to open the area to traffic, so no last minute changes are expected in the streets chosen for this transfer.
