The Pollinica colors the old town of Marbella with palms and olive trees.
The procession has included the participation of 520 people. Health heals the souls of its devotees this Palm Sunday in Málaga.
The Brotherhood of Our Father Jesus of Mercy at His Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem and Most Holy Mary of Peace and Hope have processed this Palm Sunday in a procession that included 520 participants, with palms and olive branches featuring prominently as they passed through the streets of the old town.
This year, the brotherhood was able to carry the Sacred Titles in procession - which could not occur in 2024 due to rainfall - and although a light rain fell for about 10 minutes in the late afternoon around 19:23 hours, it did not prevent the procession from continuing its march until it concluded past 22:30 hours.
The departure of Our Father Jesus of Mercy at His Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem. / M. J. S.The Drum Rope of the Virgin of the Rosary of Algatocín Music Band Association was responsible for leading the procession, which began its slow drum-paced walk past 17:18 hours, when 120 throne bearers lifted Our Father Jesus of Mercy from inside the Our Lady of the Incarnation Church in Marbella.
In the square, hundreds of parishioners, locals, and tourists crowded to watch the Sacred Titles pass by, in an atmosphere of joy and devotion mixed with the commotion of the nursery school children, who stood in line dressed in white tergal tunics, multicolored striped faraona robes, and red sashes.
The throne of Jesus was arranged after leaving the Holy Temple to traverse the streets of the old town, in a procession composed of 350 Nazarenes dressed in white satin tunics, red velvet capes, and red sashes.
Following was Most Holy Mary of Peace and Hope, who left past 17:40 hours from the Church of the Incarnation, carried by 60 throne bearers, including the councilman for Citizen Security of Marbella City Council, José Eduardo Díaz, and the deputy mayor of San Pedro, Javier García. The Virgin was accompanied by the Music Band of Paso and Hope from Málaga and 150 Nazarenes wrapped in white satin tunics, green velvet capes, and green sashes.
One of this year's novelties was the change of route for the Pollinica procession to better showcase the procession, which no longer passed through La Alameda but instead moved along Carlos Mackintosh Avenue, where the bearers had to lower the throne of Jesus to maneuver around one of the covering trees, around 19:23 hours, when the first drops began to fall.
The Virgin was covered after the rain. / M. H.The procession continued with an attempt to cover the image of Christ, which was eventually uncovered as it was protected by the foliage of the avenue, while the Virgin was covered with plastic during the rain, which lasted about 10 minutes.
One of the most special moments was when the procession passed by the Bocanegra school, located on Trinidad Street, where the students sang to the Sacred Titles and a shower of petals colored the sky white, red, and yellow. The march concluded with the meeting of thrones in the church square, past 22:20 hours.
