This pantheon was headed by Heaven, to which only the emperor offered sacrifices at an altar in the southern suburbs of the imperial city, followed by Earth, which received sacrifices at an altar in the northern suburbs. An important event in the canonizing process occurred in B.
The word baldachin comes from the city of Baldac, medieval Baghdad, which was the source of valuable silks often used to make the baldachins. Nevertheless, the expression of the symbolic elements it was to contain had already been established. This is why it is heptagonal, representing the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit : wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety and fear of the Lord.
The polygon is placed with one point facing the centre of the crossing, rising slightly in that direction. This central point is inscribed with the letters INRI, an unequivocal reference to Jesus Christ on the cross just below. The fabric canopy is gold and ochre tones, accentuating the radial, radiant meaning, and is covered in gold stars.
The structure of the baldachin is metal , giving the initial seven-sided polygon thickness and three-dimensional weight so that, when topped with translucent parchment, it can hide a lighting system to highlight the inscriptions.
So, in the centre on each side, the seven gifts are listed. Above this structure are shafts of wheat, a symbol of the bread for the Eucharist , and below hang grapes in three colours , red, white and gold, a symbol of the wine of the Eucharist, in moulded glass, with interspersed grape leaves in brass.

The kind of nobility which, today, is a far cry from its erstwhile privileges, and which seeks no rewards other than those provided by its altruistic devotion to duty and its firm interest in serving the Crown and the Homeland.
Excerpt from a speech given by H. The Nobility is a social stratum which is reached either by royal appointment or by hereditary right, and which in Spain had its origin in the Reconquest, the historical period which commenced at the beginning of the VIIIth century. The monarchs relied on the support of their vassals to defend their territories, and in return granted them privileges and prerogatives, in other words, they ennobled them.
In the city of Seville, the descendants of the nobles who accompanied King San Fernando established themselves as a Corps of noblemen dedicated to San Hermenegildo. Following a decline in their activities, and through a royal initiative, the Real Maestranza emerged at a time when the help of the nobility was again needed to take an active part in the defence of the Fatherland, supplying people and equipment, training young men in the arts of horsemanship and of war, or raising good horses which, as King Felipe II himself would say, were useful in the guardianship and defence of the Kingdom.
Its editorial work, its support for the bullfighting festival and for equestrian sport, and the help which it gives to those most in need, have made it one of the most highly-valued institutions of the nobility.
