abandoned my blog for quite some time.
But today I felt like writing and I will do so on a tradition of a people to whom I am bound lately, Lora del Río.
But since I'm too lazy and I'm going to rehire me to write this here little by little, the text is selected blog that explains it perfectly:
In Lora is very devoted to their patron The Setefilla virgin, whose name means seven villas, as were formerly glimpsed from their sanctuary.
Everything is related to the old employer has a sharp and original, strange tradition, including most notably the old.
Setefilla The virgin is usually found in the sanctuary located in the middle slopes of Sierra Morena, 13 km from the village. Every 7 years is taken to east, but when something terrible happens, such as widespread drought or disease, the virgin is brought to town by way of exception. This tends to happen especially when there are extended periods of drought.
For the virgin is brought to the town have to make a series of rituals.
First, remove the old, later the rosary of women and men's rosary, and finally the coming of the virgin Lora, after the town is adorned with arches and jara.
the old tradition started when one of the fraternity brothers decide to call in the virgin. Usually at night, almost madrugada.De soon begin tolling the bells of the church of Santa Ana, and all the people know that's out the old. From here you have to go to the home of a fraternity brother who is older and residing in the Roda de Arriba. This man is invited to be mounted on a chair and walk across it uploaded Lora, boosted by the Lorraine up to the priest's house, where they will ask this bring to the virgin. For many Lorraine
be chosen as the old is an honor, but also at its risks, since it is an older person and can be assembled several hours on top of a chair and a winter night. Some families put sound objection to this trip as the health of Mr. at risk.
And to make graphic testimony to the tradition here let this video of an interview of "direct Andalucia"
