The Confraternity of Jesus Crucified-Manaies of Girona mourns the loss of Maria Carme Ribas Mora, a key figure who promoted the children's section and was the first honorary banner-bearer.

The Confraternity of Jesus Crucified - Manaies of Girona has expressed its deep sorrow over the passing of Maria Carme Ribas Mora, an individual who dedicated years of her life with great affection and commitment to the organization and Girona's Holy Week traditions.
Ribas Mora made history in 1988 when she was appointed honorary banner-bearer of the Confraternity, becoming the first woman to receive this distinction. This appointment symbolized recognition for her service and affection towards the Confraternity and the city of Girona.
Her contributions extended beyond this honor. She was a driving force and coordinator of the children's section of the Vestes, a task that ensured generational succession within the organization. Furthermore, she played a significant role in relocating the Confraternity's headquarters to the church of Sant Lluc.
Her fondness for the church of Sant Lluc was special, the place where she chose to present her book La Girona que jo estimo. Her legacy endures physically through the damask she donated to the Confraternity, displayed in Sant Lluc as a permanent symbol of her affection and commitment.
The memory of Ribas Mora will remain alive due to her deep and sincere impact on the life of the confraternity and the city.
