The program of parties in honor of Jesus Nazareno has been presented by the councilman Festival, Antonio Miragall and the president of the Jesús Nazareno brotherhood, Vicente Tur. This year the festivities will begin on April 24 and as a novelty they will end on May 4, instead of day 3 with the rise of the Nazarene to the hermitage of Calvario.
The call for general elections has caused the program of events to be slightly modified. Within the festivities of the Nazarene, the Xàbia Folk festival will take place, which will be on April 26, 27 and 28 in the tent installed in the Plaza de la Constitución and the final concert will be on May 4 in the Hermitage of Santa Lucia. Also, the program reflects the extension of theater nights to three days, April 28, 29 and May 2.
For the Saturday 4 of May, as an extension to the program of celebrations, the end of the cycle of monologues will be celebrated, COMEDY dijous. It will be at 20 hours and will have as a special guest and master of ceremonies the well-known comedian, Óscar Tramoyeres. Later, to close the parties of 2019 there will be a mobile phone.
Bet on the culture
Miragall stressed that the work carried out by the Brotherhood, "He has made a commitment to local culture with theater nights, a charity concert for the Red Cross and Caritas scheduled for the April 30, as well as the blood donation for the April 24."
As is tradition, the bullfighting activities will be held in the Placeta del Convent on 25, 26, 27 and 28 days in April. The offering of flowers will be the 2 of May and will be exhibited in the streets the crosses of May realized with flowers by mayorales and volunteers.
Note that this year marks the 10 anniversary of the death of the vicar of Sant Bertomeu, Don José Soler and the only activity that has had to be suspended is the cyclist test scheduled for the day of the elections.
Devotion for Jesus Nazareno
The neighbors of Xàbia have great devotion to the image of Jesus Nazareno. Sample of them is that for this year, Angelita Cardona Cardona and Vicenta Mulet Ivars have developed a new brial for Jesus Nazareno. Last year, on the occasion of the anniversary, María Espasa Catalá and Loreto Bolufer were the ones who made the brial and another new embroidery.
