Confraternity Jesús ante Herodes
HISTORICAL REVIEW
In 1992 it is incorporated as a section of the Confraternity Jesús ante Herodes, although this paso is more ancient that the confraternity’s holder, since it was created for participating in the Resurrection Sunday’s procession in 1978, under the group of confraternities of the Resucitado and San Juan Apóstol. In the Easter Week of 2004 it is replaced the García Mengual’s carvings by others by Limón Parra, under the presidence of Juan Antonio Martínez Rodríguez.

ICONOGRAPHY
María Magdalena, María, Santiago’s mother and Salomé bought scents for going to embalm Jesús. They arrived to the Sepulchre, already risen the sun, looking, they saw that the rock had been moved, entering in the sepulchre they saw one young man who was sat dressed in white robe and he told them: “He is not here, but you go to tell the disciples that He will precede you to Galilee, there you will see Him, as He has told you”.
AUTHOR
