Low Treasure

We are in the rooms of the Confraternity House, in the lower treasury. The processional “paso” (processional float) of Nuestro Padre Jesús Nazareno (Our Father Jesus of Nazareth), the work of the carver José Martínez in 1977, dominates the room. It is neo-Baroque in style, with undulating lines that create light and shade and beautiful pictorial effects. The four evangelists and their symbols are represented in the niches in the corners. The gilding is the work of Enrique Castellanos. The Lord is illuminated by four very classical gilded metal lanterns, designed and made by Orfebrería Triana. The series of cartouches depicting different passages from the Passion deserve special mention for their beauty. They were made by the sculptor David Segarra in 2012.

The showcases that surround the room contain the embroidery of the paso de palio (float for the Virgin) of María Santísima de la O. It is made in several stages and several workshops are involved in its production. It was designed by Rafael Martínez in 1956. The exterior embroidery is by the Carrasquilla workshop and the Saint Isabel convent, the interior embroidery of the front and back canopies by the Santa Barbara workshop and the side canopies by Fernández y Enríquez. The design of the canopy is by Joaquín Garrido and was made in the convent of Saint Isabel in 1972. It depicts Saint Anne and the Child Jesus in all their splendour. The room is completed by the horns, embroidered by Juan Manuel Rodríguez Ojeda, and the two leading crosses of the Archconfraternity (one of them always starts the procession on Good Friday).
