One of the most magical moments of Holy Tuesday in Seville is lived next to the gardens of Murillo, around 1 am. Everything is extinguished except the candles of the Virgin of Candelaria.
In addition to this unique moment, there are other curiosities hidden in this special day. If you missed the essential facts about Easter Monday in Seville, you can read them here.
The Little Dove of San Benito
The Virgin of the Incarnation is known as the “Palomita de Triana“, because this Virgin processed in a canopy with a silver dove on its canopy roof. At that time the corporation was based in Triana and today what remains is the memory through this unique nickname.
La Candelaria: the light of Easter Tuesday
As we noted at the beginning, one of the most memorable moments of the entire Holy Week in Seville comes from the hand of the Candelaria. Everything is extinguished except the candles of the Virgin of Candelaria. It is, in fact, the only step of a Nazarene of Seville that is illuminated by windshield candelabra.
The caller of the Dulce nombre
The caller of the step of the mystery of Our Father Jesus before Annas has the shape of a calabrote. This symbolism recalls the cord, rope or rope with which Christ was taken captive before Annas.
The metal caller is a donation of the Foundation of San Antonio. In 1939 Adolfo Escacena recast it in bronze. This paso de misterio carries a cauldron that expels incense.
Andalusia in the Brotherhood of El Cerro
This Brotherhood plays the anthem of Andalusia at the exit instead of that of Spain, which it plays next. It is the only one that makes this change.
