Holy week

Put very simply so that we all understand, the Holy Week of Seville is the staging of the Passion of Christ in different episodes which are shown in the pragmatic sculptures to Apartamentos Sevilla that are front images in the huge carriages accompanied by nazarenos, members of abrotherhood ; penitents. The origin was found in the doctrines of the Council of Trent. First they adopted the sort of a way of the cross, later the special devotion to certain pictures resulted in the creation of religious associations. During the Baroque period they worked as a base for organizations of guild nature and therefore they kept the names of the guilds as their reason for their origin ; the bakers, the negroes, the cart users

The very next step was when these brotherhoods became the main bonding component of the community or the parish. While La Macarena, San Bernardo, San Julian are among the oldest brotherhoods, San Gonzalo, Tiro de Linea, Nervion are way more latest, they all share the same idea of area and society. In any case and independent of the important origin of each brotherhood, at the present, the main obligation of these non secular associations is to bring their members during the penitence period from their headquarters or chapel to the metropolitan Cathedral and from there back to their church.

Though seen from a precisely religious standpoint, the most significant thing is to come to the Cathedral and return, in fact it is more involved than that since all confraternities have to pass thru what it is called the Official Route. This covers from piazza de la Campana de la Catedral passing thru Streets Sierpes, piazza de San Francisco, Avenida de la Constitucin, before they enter the Cathedral thru the Gate of San Miguel and leave again thru Street Palos which leads out onto piazza Virgen de los Reyes. All fraternities have to do the same route. Along the route you can rent a chair to see the processions, either by purchasing a regular or daily ticket, prices differ from daily and depending on the chairs location.

during the journey there are 3 controls to check that each brotherhood follows the set time schedules. At the street La Campana they find the time control of the General Council of Brotherhoods and Fraternities of Seville, someone that takes note of the quantity of brotherhoods, both theso called Penitence and Glory. Recently this street has become the best spot to see from the Aparameto Sevilla the different brotherhoods and finding a place to view from is almost not possible. The second control, carried out by the citys authorities, is found in plaza de San Francisco also called Palcos which is socially speaking the most significant place to see the fraternities. Here access is restricted to them accompanied by a member from the stage. The last control is done by the ecclesiastic authorities at the entrance of the Cathedral.

This route is scheduled prior to the procession and is subject to a very strict time schedule which cannot be changed. If for any cause, such as weather or agreater force the procession cannot be completed the float is cancelled and the brotherhood must wait an entire year and try it again.
