Once the mass was over, Mariló Cebreros, already outside the parish, signed in the Book of Rules of the Brotherhood and, then, the attendees went on a pilgrimage around the streets. Then in El Moralet Park, a day of coexistence took place.

Today's event concludes the triduum organized by the brotherhood that experienced one of its most intense days last night in La Almudena parish, in Colonia Madrid. The new brothers incorporated this year took the traditional oath and received their corresponding medals. Next, Juan María Garrido read the Proclamation of the 2024 Pilgrimage.

The event was attended by the mayor, Toni Pérez, and also by Cebreros, as well as other local councillors. The first mayor had the opportunity to address the attendees to wish them a happy pilgrimage and thank them for the effort they make throughout the year to keep alive a tradition that manages to energize an entire neighbourhood and that, by right, is part of the intense festive calendar of the city.
