He had been looking at his mounting tools in the distance for some time.
For a person accustomed to the touch of clay figures, they have been very hard months.
Weeks of frustration at not being able to do what you like best.
Impotence for not being able to prepare the monumental nativity scene of the Brotherhood of the Prayer of the Garden and the Holy Sepulcher.
It has been such a bad time that maybe that's why Abelardo Salmer n Pinar looked radiant this Saturday afternoon.
Happy with the inauguration of the nativity scene in one of the lobbies of the Capitol Theater.
He is all thanks for the help received.
The brotherhood is once again surprising for the ease with which it combines nativity scenes, tradition and costumbrismo. The idea, conceived by the Department of Culture to exhibit in a municipal venue and thus not break the tradition followed so far by the Ciezana brotherhood, became a reality with the arrival of the first visits in this new environment .
The solution sought by municipal officials was that they would work in an area adjacent to the main door of the Capitol, where the nativity scene could also be seen from the street.
With its fifteen square meters of surface, the model adapts to the dimensions of the enclosure.
Access will be controlled and limited to small groups, due to the severe measures imposed by the health authorities as a result of the pandemic. Salmer n is the person that the brotherhood founded in 1943 put long ago in charge of the design of the manger.
From him started the project that this year's montage revolved around the Birth of Jesus for reasons of space.
"By dispensing with the different Mysteries of the Nativity we have opted for the recreation of traditional scenes.
There is also no background due to the limitations of the premises, a circumstance that we have saved with the placement of figures of different sizes to achieve a depth effect ", explained the person in charge of the nativity scene, to later recognize that" there is no doubt that we have a very central location so that it can be visited by the neighbors.
" The opening was presided over by Mayor Pascual Lucas, who was accompanied during the visit by the president of the Brotherhood of the Orchard and Holy Sepulcher, Juan del Baño, and Salmer n himself.
The councilors for Celebrations, Museums, Culture and Transparency, Mar a Jes s L pez; Conchi Villa, Melba Miñano and Antonio Montiel, respectively.
The representation of the Municipal Corporation was completed by the mayors Manuel Egea, Mar a Turp n, Ignacio Erquicia, Francisco Mart nez, Laura Villa and Juan Piñera.
Satisfaction: that is the feeling that invaded Los Dormis after the inauguration.
"We hope that the nativity scene will be to the liking of the citizens." function { ;(, , {});}
