Málaga's María Auxiliadora Procession: Faith and Controversy Converge
Málaga's María Auxiliadora Procession: A Celebration Amidst Controversy Málaga, Spain – The annual procession of the Virgin Mary, organized by the María Auxiliadora Coronada de Málaga association, is set to take place this Saturday, May 31st, at 6:30 PM. This year's procession, traversing the Capuchinos neighborhood, promises to be a significant local event. However, it's not without its share of controversy. The interview with Samuel Escobar, the association's communications officer, and Carmen González, head of the youth group, reveals the challenges faced in organizing this year's event. "The activity centers around the month of May, especially after Holy Week," explains Escobar. "We're preparing, especially for the decorations, the floats, and other aspects." The procession will feature the San Lorenzo Mártir musical group and the La Paz band. González adds, "The festivities have been simpler this year, but we're very happy." The limitations imposed by the Salesian community on the scale of the decorations are also discussed. Despite the controversy, the procession is expected to be a beautiful display of faith and community spirit, a testament to the enduring devotion of the people of Málaga.
