The creation of this first Easter Museum, is a factWe can appreciate on it a little showing of the rich and varied imagery, so as of standards and tunics, which form our Easter. As for the sculpture, we can admire a little representation, being currently on exhibition; the Cristo de las Cinco Llagas (Vázquez Juncal, 1993), which presides over the exhibition at the main altar; the Aparición a Santa María Magdalena (Hernández Navarro, 1993), wonderfully erects at the middle of the chapel; carrying on by the gospel’s side, we have the Cristo Humillado (Spiteri Sánchez, 2003), and we have La Samaritana (Lozano Roca, 1949), in the chapel; in the epistle’s side we have the Verónica (Francisco Liza, 1997), and in the chapel, a Virgen Dolorosa (Sánchez Lozano, 1964), carving owned to the group Santo Costado de Cristo.
We can contemplate an excellent collection of some of the most representative standards of our confraternities, as they are the Oración del Huerto (Abellán Mula / José David, 1966). Beso de Judas (Salvador Palao / López Martínez), Cristo de la Caída (Bleda Carrión / Ciriaco Ruiz), Vera Cruz’s Brotherhood and Santo Sepulcro (Alfredo Lerga, 1942). We can also admire diferent brotherhoods’ tunics, corresponding to several periods. All this is in a faithful reflection of our processions and our religious imagery heritage that, yet being small, it makes an effort for teaching us the splendour of our Easter Week.

Santiago’S main church and Museum-Chapel Of The Santo Sepulcro
The museum is placed in a quiet Renaissance chapel, where in the past it was situated the primitive sacristy of the church, before the construction of the current one of baroque style. This octagonal floor small chapel, crowned by an extraordinary dome that ends with a trimming of fruits from which departs a cap of rays, simulating a scallop as a remembrance to the temple’s holder, the Apostle Santiago, and underneath them a spacious octagonal drawer; six niches are at its foot, where they are situated some processionals images of Easter and a small treasure of the Church, and we can admire the Parochial Manga from 16th century, a custodian holy chalice from same century and a crucifix, a work by Francisco Salzillo. The Cristo Yacente presides over the room, above the chapel altar, work by José Planes Peñalver (1942); the Cristo de la Sentencia, by Javier Santos de la Hera (1979); San Juan, by Román y Salvador (1942); Jesús Resucitado, José Planes (1959); Jesús Prendido, by Ignacio Pinazo (1952); and the Virgen de la Esperanza, by Ramón Cuenca (2002)We can also admire, inside the temple, other images which are exhibited to the worship and that they march on Easter. In the Epistle’s part and in the Lozano’s Chapel, we can admire the Cristo de la Vida, a work by José Planes (1945). In front of it and at the chapel that gives way to the Communion’s Chapel, we can see the Cristo de la Misericordia, a work by Hernández Navarro (1992), and already inside the Chapel, entering to the right we have the imposing crucifixed of Cristo de la Expiración, by Javier Santos de la Hera (1982); followed by the Traslado al Sepulcro by Manuel Romero (1993), in front of them we can see two wonderful works by Ignacio Pinazo, Santa María Magdalena (1942), and beside it, Nuestra Señora de la Soledad (1944).
Museum-Chapel of The Rollo's Confraternity
t was started on the 22th March 1997, by the Most Reverend Mr. emeritus bishop of the Cartagena’s Diocese, Monsignor Javier Azagra Labiano.
It is placed at the street Portillo de la Glorieta, very closed to the Rollo street, of where the Confraternity was born in 1941. It is the consequence of one of the most brilliant initiatives that the Jumilla’s passionate brotherhoods have had, in particular the one of this
Confraternity ‘El Rollo’, given that, this way, it puts in value the Confraternity’s heritage during all year. On it, it is guarded and it is given worship to the Confraternities’ pasos: Ecce-Homo (1942), the Confraternity’s main paso, work by, possibly, the best maker of religious images from Murcia of the 20th century, Juan González Moreno. Descendimiento de la Cruz (1952), work by the distinguised Murcian sculptor José Planes Peñalver; Aparición de Jesús a Santo Tomás (1984), Negación de San Pedro (1993) and Elevación a la Cruz (2008), by the Murcian sculptor José Antonio Hernández Navarro.
The chapel is prepared inside it for the mass celebration, and it is given mass every first Sunday of each month, officiated by the Franciscan Fathers from Santa Ana del Monte.
