To mark the celebration of the Holy Cross, commemorated in the Christian West today, May 3rd, El Campo-Plaza de España Neighborhood Association erected its cross in a ceremony attended by hundreds of residents and members.
Among those present were the mayor, Toni Pérez; the councillor for Fiestas, Mariló Cebreros; other members of the council; and the regional deputy, José Ramón González de Zárate. Also in attendance were Ramón Cano, president of the Comissió de Festes Majors Patronals, and Lucho Sánchez, representing the Associació de Penyes Verge del Sofratge.
The parish priest of El Buen Pastor, Juan Bautista Samper, thanked the residents, members of the neighbourhood association, and representatives of the local government for their presence. He then gave the floor to the mayor, who briefly congratulated the neighbourhood association, headed by Elisa Castillo, and noted that the event coincided with Mother's Day, offering his special congratulations to all mothers.
The priest then blessed the cross, and all those present, and resident Caridad Delgado recited some verses. Afterwards, attendees enjoyed hot chocolate and cakes, which the association had provided.
