Paradas celebrates 50 years since the first procession of the Holy Burial Brotherhood

Archbishop José Ángel Saiz Meneses presided over a Mass in the Plaza de España in Paradas to mark the 50th anniversary of the first procession of the Brotherhood of the Holy Burial. The liturgy was concelebrated by parish priest Juan Dorado and attended by Mayor Rafael Cobano, members of the brotherhood, and representatives from nearby towns such as Arahal and Marchena.

During his homily, Archbishop Saiz Meneses stated that the anniversary serves as an opportunity to look back with gratitude and look toward the future with hope.
