A new chapter in the story of devotion
This Friday, April 11, at 18:00, the Central Library of Igualada will become the scene of an event that promises to deepen the rich tradition of the Holy Christ of Igualada. The presentation of the third edition of the book that documents its story is not only a literary event; It is a significant step in the celebration of the 435th anniversary of the Miracle of the Sweat of Blood.
Key participants in the presentation
The session will have the intervention of Fr. Bernabé Dalmau, a monk of Montserrat, who has contributed a biographical perspective on P. Romuald M. Díaz i Carbonell. It will also be Joan Farrés, responsible for the updating of this edition, who brings a new vision to the publication.
A tribute to the tradition
Published by the priors of the Holy Christ of Igualada and printed by unigraphic, this edition not only brings together previous texts, but also a tribute to the work of Fr.
A moment of reflection and celebration
The edition comes at a key moment, marking 435 years since the prodigy of 1590. This devotion has inspired a vast literary production over the years, with prominent figures who have helped keep the narrative around the Holy Christ.
Literary contributions
Authors such as Joan Padró, Jaume Gomis, and others have left an indelible imprint in the history of devotion. The new edition of Farrés not only reviews the original text, but also includes new elements that contextualize the current importance of this devotion.
A legacy for new generations
The Holy Christ of Igualada is presented as an essential work not only for scholars, but for anyone interested in the identity of Igualada. The book reminds us that devotion is a symbol of unity and hope, essential for the preservation of our traditions.
An event open to the community
The presentation, which is accessible to all citizens, offers a unique opportunity to dialogue with the authors and celebrate a tradition that is an integral part of the soul of Igualada.
The new musical composition: Mass of the Holy Christ
On Monday, April 14, 2025, at 19:00, the Central Library will host the presentation of the Mass of the Holy Christ of Igualada, a new musical work by Concepción Ramió. This mass, created for band and heart, represents a significant innovation in the local liturgy.
Music as a Spiritual Vehicle
With this composition, Ramió seeks to merge the musical tradition in contemporary language, offering a new dimension to religious celebration. This Mass is only the second dedicated to the Holy Christ of Igualada and aims to strengthen the impact of music on community life.
A unique opportunity to connect
The event will be an exceptional opportunity to experience a work that seeks to resonate in the cultural and spiritual life of the city. The priors thank all those who have made this reissue possible, including Joan Felipe and Unigraphic.
