Rocío the brotherhood of the Rocío of Seville, of the parish of El Salvador, was canonically erected on February 17, 1934 by decree of Cardinal Eustaquio Ilundáin y Esteban. Among the Promoters were José Anastasio Martín, Emilio Pardo Bernal, José M. Delgado and Segundo de Montes Huibroso. The brotherhood was erected canonically, but the decree contained a very special clause: he could not make a pilgrimage to the hermitage of the village of Almonte for Pentecost. In 1950, a group of Brothers, enthusiastically supported by the parish priest Andrés Guillén Morales and with the very close collaboration of the lawyer José María Domenech Romero, who until his death was an honorary elder brother, carried out the efforts, not without difficulties, to obtain the Ecclesiastical authorization and thus make a pilgrimage to Rocío. The Authorization, being Cardinal of Seville Pedro Segura y Sáenz, finally arrived on April 30, 1951. It was the older brother of Miguel Lasso de la Vega y Marañón. In

Celebrating Ancient Moslem Festival -- The impressive sight as thousands of Moslems joined in prayer in the centre of Calcutta, India in celebration of Bakr-Id. The festival commemorates the ordeal of Ismail and the miraculous way in which at the last moment providence came to his rescue. Abraham, called Khalilulla, or the friend of god, was put to a terrible test when he was asked to sacrifice what was dearest to him, and he decided to offer the life of his beloved son Ismail. As he was about to apply the knife to Ismail's throat with his eyes blind folded it was revealed to him that this was meant only to test his faith and that he would on opening his eyes, find a ram which he should sacrifice in the name of Allah. September 18, 1939. (Photo by Keystone).
