Renato Martinez – Vatican City

In the framework of Jubileo de la Esperanza, from 16 to 18 May, the jubilee of the Muslim Brotherhood will be implemented, which will first gather in the jubilee to represent the Brotherhood and hunger around the world. In Addition, a procese will be carried out the streets of the eternal city and for this day. “El Cachorro”, of seville and maría santísima de la Esperanza, of malaga, which are exposed in the San Pío x Chapel of the Basilica of San Pedro for the Veneration of the Faithful.

In this regard, in the Vatican News, we are dialogue with Jose Luis Aldia, the older brother of the blessed brother of Christ, known as “El Cachorro” from Triana, which is evident in Seville, who shares his feelings and explains the meaning of popular piety.

What represents the presence of Basilica San Pedro to the expiration of Christ and who will also be the protagonist of the jubilee from the Muslim Brotherhood?

I think it is a unique emotion that does not repeat it, because seeing a picture for us is everything, which is a picture since we are practically born brotherhood, because we have in the students, we have in the heart. Of course, his vision here, there is one thing that we never imagined, in the center in practice for Christianity, in San Pedro, where there are many thousands of pilgrims during this year to obtain the jubilee, because it is an emotion as we may not feel it in our lives.

What does this image represent? What will be able to appreciate the pilgrims in Rome when they see the puppy procession in the streets of the eternal city?

Well, the puppy that symbolizes is the last minute before death. That exact moment that separates the life of death. He raises his eyes to heaven, and gives another Esterctor and many times because of the position he did almost, although he is at this center point, there are times that are almost told as if it was rising, because it is not well known if he is already alive or died. But well, it’s an overwhelming size for Baroque, it’s the height of Sevillian’s pictures, the work of Antonio Ruiz Gijón, UTRERA sculpting. Well, it is one of these works that has something unique, and this means that from the moment when it was practically done in 1682 and its same talisman, it quickly fell into the hearts of all worshipers in Seville.
