The Holy Supper opened this morning on Holy Thursday in Cáceres. Good weather and high temperatures are marking the day. “We are going to get tanned”, commented minutes before eleven o’clock in the morning a brother of the Holy Supper to another before placing himself under the litter of one of the most imposing steps of the Cáceres festival. The parade of this brotherhood has started from the church of Santiago with some delay because a person from the public has fainted. The procession could not advance until the ambulance arrived and that has caused it to start later than usual. Afterwards, the parade has advanced at a good pace.

After leaving the passage of the Holy Supper, the brotherhood has removed its other two images: the Triumph of the Eucharist and Our Lady of the Tabernacle. Today’s procession has left a curious image to immortalize. There are not only brothers of burden of the Holy Supper under the litters of the steps. You can also see purple tunics, belonging to members of the brotherhood of the Nazarene, based in Santiago. These two brotherhoods reached an agreement to be able to exchange brothers and reinforce their shifts as a forecast in case enough brotherhoods did not come to take the steps. Actually, this morning the Holy Supper has had a lot of convening power, but the brotherhoods highlight the gesture of twinning achieved.

The high temperatures have caused, for the moment, two fainting among the public, as confirmed to this newspaper by the DYA association, which is in charge of providing health support in the processions. The attentions have occurred in the Plaza de Santiago and in the Plaza Mayor. During the day on Holy Wednesday, five people were treated (one due to trauma and four due to dizziness of various kinds).

Tamara Alegre has been heard singing from the balcony of the brotherhood house of the Sagrada Cena. Her intervention is part of the cycle organized by the Flamencos de Verdá association, in collaboration with the José Mercé rock and the Ateneo, to retain local saeteros in the capital and program her interventions in the processions.
