So much so that the solemn Eucharistic celebration officiated massive in his honor on the evening of September 7 did not show any representation of the government team.
Neither the torchlight procession, much less to the pilgrim mass.
And if not attended events on the day of the pilgrimage, also honored our Patroness in the great day of his name day, leaving to attend the Mass celebrated in her honor on the morning of the 8th, and large local party the calasparreños, I think for everyone, believers and non-believers.
I have always understood that this time in which we celebrate our fair and festivals were chosen, among other reasons, to coincide with the pilgrimage and the day of the Virgin, in order to honor and revere our patron more.
Thus, I believe that our fair has been held and is still held in honor of our patron saint Our Lady of Hope.
Apparently our mayor, not a priority to honor and venerate the patron of Calasparra in the Pilgrimage or on the day of their festival.
As calasparreño not feel represented by some municipal leaders who are unable to attend the celebrations and events planned in honor of our patron saint, the Virgin of Hope.
