Hermandad del Santísimo Rosario prepares historic procession from San Marcos
The Hermandad del Santísimo Rosario is preparing for a historic procession on the 18th, marking the first time the Virgin of the Rosary will exit from the San Marcos church in 91 years. Due to the provisional closure of San Julián, the brotherhood has relocated to San Marcos, its original foundational temple.
Preparations are currently underway to ensure the dimensions of the image allow for a successful exit from the church. While the space in San Marcos is narrower than San Julián, the church's arch is taller, which may facilitate the passage. This event follows a long history of displacement for the brotherhood, which lost much of its heritage in a 1936 fire at the San Marcos parish.
