Easter Mining Cartel The Union already has an image of the artist Isidoro unionense Parrado reflects not only the Christ of the miners, but also a procession of penitents descending the Sierra in a clear allusion to the ordeal that this year, and first time in the history of the town, will leave from Mina Vicenta Groups toward the church.

This presentation is part of Pogram of Acts of the 'Semana Santa Minera' of La Union and occurs after the Ash Wednesday took place the traditional 'Call' to Holy Week, in which Big Brother asks permission to Mayor so they can go out processions.
During the ceremony this weekend, delivered the awards to the Brethren Insignes Fellowships, which this year were Alfredo Gomez (Nazarene), M ª del Carmen Valero (La Madeleine); Ginés Sansano (Solitude), Francisco M .
Barnabas (San Juan Evangelista), Antonio M.
Manrubia (The Sorrows), Jose Antonio Nieto (La Caridad) and Sebastian Garcia (Cristo de los Mineros).
Also, the Illustrious Confraternity of the Holy Christ of Mines agreed to appoint a Year Cofrade Carricondo Maria del Carmen, on the basis of merit made at Easter.
Moreover, the mayor unionense, Francisco Bernabé, presented the check to the municipal grant to the Illustrious Confraternity of Christ the Miners for the development of all Groups in Holy Week, an effort that has maintained its value despite of the current economic crisis, which this year has forced many municipalities to reduce the amount of their aid.
