2011 Seville The rivalry between steps and Thrones at Easter 2011 To whom this is to know the Holy Week of Malaga should be aware that from time immemorial a great rivalry between Sevillanos and Malaga, from the thrones yy between the two steps and how to watch Easter in Malaga and Seville's Holy Week. Same goes for the fair of Malaga and Seville Fair.
For lovers of Holy Week, the steps you take in a procession of Seville have nothing to do with wealth and splendor of thrones Malaga. And is that both provinces of Andalusia, vying in splendor, culture, old and in fervor.
Holy Week in Malaga is conspicuous by its splendor, but I think not detract the processions of Seville, both cities are complementary to each other and with other Andalusian towns.
Malaga is the only city in the English geography where the images coming out in procession during Holy Week are called thrones.
The bearers in Malaga are called "men of the throne and carry on their shoulders images, using a metal poles that define the thrones. The thrones are larger and heavier than the steps, but such wealth and value. Persian reach several tons, up to five thousand kilos and are carried on the shoulders of his carriers, which may vary according to weight between 50 and 250 per seat.
Another difference that at least so far marked the Holy Week in Malaga, has been that the thrones were accompanied by military bands and parades, is a practice that has survived but is on track to disappear. Has always been very famous Legion parade accompanying the Christ of the Good Death. The parade of Legionnaires' was always followed by children and adults.
can not talk about the lack of religiosity of the Holy Week of Malaga, Malaga is also alive in the faith and feeling that make this religious celebration, but dominated by the open, spontaneous and cosmopolitan of Málaga malagueños.En Passion Week is a week of cheers, of hustle, bustle, joy and arrows, but the night of Good Friday is an assemblage of eerie silence takes over from Larios Street, the
Tribuna de los Pobres, park ride.
