Talk about Easter in Ontur.
In Ontur there are six brotherhoods, some of them have many brothers and sisters but others sometimes don't have enough bearers to carry the thrones. Each brotherhood wears a different robe. On Resurrection Sunday children carry Jesus Christ as a child on their shoulders to meet with his mother, "La Virgen de la Soledad". It's a very moving moment. Merche



All the Processions parade with a music band. The first procession is on Holy Wednesday at nigth. It is "The Silent" Procession, it only walks along the streets with the Jesus Christ image. It is very short, everyone is silent and with devotion.

On Maundy Thurday there is "The Last Supper". It involves more thrones: La Ultima Cena, El Prendimiento, El Nazareno y La Soledad.



On Good Friday we represent the Burial. On this day the trones of The Crucifixion, The Burial, and La Soledad parade. It celebrates the stations of the cross of Jesus Christ. It´s a very sad procession. When the procession is parading though the main square, everyone is in silence. They are just listening to the music band.



On Thursday night and Friday penitents play the drum as in Hellín.
