The confraternity glossary reproduced below is the work of Lucena native Ricardo Moreno G\u00f3mez<\/strong>, who, in his 1998 book Horquillo<\/strong> <\/em>compiled more than five hundred terms associated with Holy Week and the \u2018santer\u00eda\u2019 tradition of Lucena. It is a contribution of great value for understanding the rich vocabulary<\/strong> that has emerged around this unique tradition, the result of centuries of popular religiosity and the oral transmission of knowledge between generations of \u2018santeros\u2019, \u2018manijeros\u2019 and confraternity members. <\/span><\/h4>\n

This repertoire of words and expressions forms part of theintangible heritage of Lucena<\/strong> and reflects a distinctive way of experiencing and understanding Holy Week, deeply rooted in the identity of the town. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Part of this vocabulary also has its roots in the agricultural and rural world, reflecting Lucena\u2019s historic connection with the countryside and the popular origins of many of its traditions. Terms as representative as \u2018manijero\u2019<\/strong> or \u2018cuadrilla\u2019<\/strong> come precisely from that rural environment, having been incorporated over time into the distinctive language of the \u2018santer\u00eda\u2019 and Holy Week in Lucena.<\/span><\/h4>\n

This Glossary therefore aims to serve as a reference and outreach tool for those who wish to become acquainted with the terminology of the confraternity world of Lucena and to gain a better understanding of the language that accompanies a living tradition that remains present throughout the year in Lucena<\/strong>. <\/span><\/h4>\n

Its dissemination without the author\u2019s consent is prohibited.<\/span><\/h4>\n

ESQUINERO.<\/strong>   A \u2018santero\u2019 whose position is at one of the four corners of the throne.   A throne has four corners, which give their names to the corner bearers: the manijero\u2019s corner (\u2018esquina de manijero\u2019)<\/em>, thebad corner (\u2018esquina mala\u2019)<\/em>, theleft corner (\u2018esquina izquierda\u2019)<\/em> and the health corner (\u2018esquina de la salud\u2019)<\/em>.   Their names have their origins in the earliest days of the \u2018santer\u00eda\u2019.   The \u2018cuadrilleros\u2019 were the wealthy  landowners of the town and entrusted the leadership of the team to their foremen or \u2018manijeros\u2019, who were men they trusted.   The corner occuppied by the latter was therefore called  \u2018esquina del manijero\u2019<\/em>.   The name \u2018esquina mala\u2019<\/em> may have two explanations.   First, because it is furthest from the bell  and therefore receives and hears the manijero\u2019s instructions with greater difficulty.   Second, because the \u2018manijero\u2019 generally surrounded himself with men of great strength and ability, which in the old \u2018santer\u00edas de contras\u2019<\/em>could place the bad corner at a disadvantage.   The left corner<\/em> is so called because of its position on the throne.   The \u2018esquina de la salud\u2019<\/em>  is on the same side as the \u2018manijero\u2019 and can therefore receive his instructions more easily.<\/p>\n

SAETA.   <\/strong>A  distinctly Andalusian form of song exclusive to Holy Week and associated with the Agony, Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus.   The word \u2018saeta\u2019 comes from the Latin \u2018sagitta\u2019,<\/em> meaning dart, arrow or projectile.   It conveys a message that reaches the heart directly, whether through faith or hope, an emotional plea, or an expression of repentance and a request for forgiveness.  From the 18thcentury, Capuchin friars in Andalusia began calling the verses of the songs they used during their penitential processions \u2018saetas\u2019.   There is no consensus on the classification of \u2018saetas\u2019 although broadly two forms may be distinguished: the balcony <\/em>or flamenco-style \u2018saeta\u2019<\/em> and the  old \u2018saeta\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n
