    The photography «Azotes», by Carlos Valentín Bernal, has been the winner of the Arco Oscuro contest in the category for the best work related to the Brotherhood of Nuestro Padre Jesús del Huerto y San Diego. Bernal commented that it is the moment when the Christ of the Lashes is on the wall between flares, "very striking because of the color it has, and it is one of the images that I have photographed the most in Holy Week."

     Within the contest, in the category related to the procession of the Christ of Forgiveness, the winning image has been "The last breath", by Javier Domingo Luque, who explains that with this simple image of Christ and the lantern he tries to convey "the triumph of the light on the darkness ».
    Finally, related to Holy Week in general, the photograph "The King and His Jews" by Eleuterio Alférez has been awarded. It is the moment of arrest on the morning of Good Friday, "the Jews with the headpiece down, the brightness of their cases and the color of their feather dusters, a moment that we are all looking forward to seeing soon."

    This year a total of 88 photographs have been presented in digital format and two on paper. The president of the Association, Guillermo Iván Bernal, thanked the participation of the photographers because "there is still Holy Week."

    The mayor of Baena, Cristina Piernagorda, said that it is once again a special year, “without images in the streets or hearing the drums; This year we have to be responsible, we must abide by the rules of the health authorities because it is going to be a complicated year and here is the responsibility of the older brothers and the brothers. For this reason he calls to "live our Holy Week within the limitations we have." He showed his unconditional support for Holy Week and recalled that the works of the second phase of the headquarters of the Association of Brotherhoods are being carried out and that they continue with the file of the declaration of international tourist interest with the development of a website from City Hall.
