The Rosary of Aurora

On September 22 the Rosary of Aurora (La Rosario de la Aurora) was held in Tomares, in the metropolitan area of Seville. The statue of Our Lady of Sorrows (La Virgen de los Dolores) was carried in procession through the town to the Parish Church of Our Lady of Bethlehem (La Iglesia Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Belén) for the pleasure and enjoyment of the members of the congregation, the penitents of the Sacramental Brotherhood of Tomares (La Hermandad Sacramental de Tomaresand the guests.

The Hail Mary Prayer (Dios te salve, María) was breathtakingly sung by all present:

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen. 

And it was very solemn and beautiful, as all the processions tend to be in Tomares, in fact. Watch the video by José Javier Comas Rodríguez here and see for yourself!
