As it has transferred to its Big Sister, María del Carmen López Moreno, the legal and sanitary circumstances that motivated the RD of state of alarm have not changed and for which the Diocese itself suggested the suspension of all processions and public events during the Week Santa José Vélez, aware of the emotional and symbolic importance of this act for all Christians in general and the residents of Caravaca in particular, has pointed out that in the letter that was sent from the Government Delegation to the Big Sister of the Royal and Illustrious Brotherhood of the Santísima and Vera Cruz and the mayor of the Excellent City Council of Caravaca de la Cruz, it was clear that they should adapt this celebration in accordance with the provisions of RD 463/2020 of March 14. The Government delegate, who has thanked Lorca Planes for his understanding and collaboration since the beginning of this health crisis, recalled that the order issued by the Bishop on March 14 suspended all public liturgical celebrations and decreed that priests would celebrate the Eucharist in private.

"These circumstances, to this day, and despite certain relief measures within the state of alarm, have not changed," argued Vélez.
