The man who goes behind Jesus (Nazareno) is Simón Cireneo --named "Cireneo", because it is suposed that he camed from Cirene (a town in the North of Africa)--.Simón was walking near Jerusalén, when he saw Jesus and he helped him to carry the Cross, closed to the mound of the Calvario.The meeting among Simón and Jesus was by chance, because Simón came from land and he was not in the group who shouted insulting to Jesus; moreover, he read the inscription which was on the Cross, which said: "Jesus Nazareno, Rey de los Judíos" ("Jesus Nazareno, King of Jews").Simón was a Jew.Then, seeing Jesus with the Cross affected to Simón and he converted himself to Christianity. Although he did not help to Jesus, voluntarily, because Jesus´s watchmen forced Simón to help to Jesus, in order that Jesus did not die on the path, before to die on the Cross, in the Calvario.In 1759, the old Brotherhood ("Cofradía") of "Padre Jesus Nazareno...." was found.In May of 1931, dismantled temples and  destroyed images in the beginining of the Second one Republic.The Brotherhoods disappear.November of 1934, the sculptor from Cadiz, Lorenzo Benitez Pacheco, restores the original image of the Nazareno, distroyed in 1931.In 1937, on "Miercoles Santo" (Wenwesday Saint) the procession of the Nazareno goes out of the parish church of La Palma.

This is the Passing ("El Paso") --in this case: "El Paso del Nazareno"--.The man with a white shirt, --who is in the left side of the penitent who is in the right side of the picture-- is named "Capataz"; he orders to the "Costaleros", when they have to stop or Under the "Paso", there are some men, who are named "Costaleros" (Bearers of religious images during processions).

This picture was made on Thursday (Jueves Santo), in the Procession of "Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno......", but, here, you can see three members of three religious Associations: in the middle, a penitent of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno --well, when we are waiting for seeying it (the passing), we say that we are waiting for  "Nazareno", simply--.And, the other two penitents belong to other different Association, but I do not remember which they are --perhaps the black penitent belongs to the Procession of "Santo Entierro", which go out on friday (Viernes Santo).But I will show you some pictures about it next days--.

In this picture, one of the five penitents carries the standard of the religious Association (Hermandad or Cofradía = Brotherhood) of "Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno, Santo Cristo de la Fe, Santa Cruz de Jerusalén y María Santísima de la Amargura" --although I did not make any picture of Santo Cristo de la Fe and of Maria Santisima de la Amargura--. 

Those penitents are the members of the board of directors of the religious Association of "Jesus Nazareno".

Yesterday night, I made some pictures of one of the four processions which went out yesterday (the day named: "Jueves Santo"), here in Algeciras(Cadiz).This one was composed by the named "paso" = passing of the "Nazareno" (Jesus Christ).But, in this picture, you can see some "Penitentes" = Penitents, who walk in the bigining of the procession --just before The Nazareno--.

"Grandchildren are children given birth twice"."It shows the affection that grandparents feel for grandchildren, as great as the one that they are abble to feel for children".
