The Jesuit Daniel Cuesta begins the countdown to Holy Week in Salamanca with a proclamation full of faith

The Jesuit Daniel Cuesta has been the person chosen to deliver this year’s traditional proclamation of Holy Week in Salamanca, thus beginning the countdown to this festivity so deeply rooted in charro lands.

The Segovian priest, who is a member of the Sacramental, Mercedarian and Penitential Brotherhood of Our Father Jesus Stripped of His Vestments and Mary Most Holy of Charity and Consuelo, is a committed man and deeply linked to Charro Holy Week, which is why he already announced that he faces this day with “a lot of joy.” In the days prior to this appointment, Cuesta told this medium about his connection with this city where he trained in Philosophy, Art History and Humanity and where he also had his first ecclesiastical experiences.

This proclamation that began around nine at night at the Liceo Theater with the words of the president of the Holy Week Board, Francisco Hernández, announces what is going to happen during Holy Week, endowed with a great emotional charge and faith. With it the countdown begins for this festivity that will break with the procession of the Via Matris de la Vera Cruz, the first to tour the streets of Salamanca on Friday of Sorrows, as long as inclement weather permits.

The Jesuit Daniel Cuesta has been supported as usual by all the brotherhoods, congregations and brotherhoods of the city, headed by the Holy Week Board, as well as by the mayor of the city, Carlos García Carbayo and different members of the municipal corporation.
