Holy week

Put simply , so 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 discovered in the doctrines of the Council of Trent. First they adopted the sort of a method of the cross, later the special attention to certain pictures ended in the creation of religious associations. During the Baroque period they worked as a base for organizations of guild nature and thus 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 neighbourhood or the parish. While La Macarena, San Bernardo, San Julian are among the oldest brotherhoods, San Gonzalo, Tiro de Linea, Nervion are farmore recent, all of them share similar idea of community and society. Actually and independent of the historic origin of each society, at the present, the main need of these non secular associations is to bring their members in the penitence period from their headquarters or chapel to the urban Cathedral and from there back to their church.

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

in the journey there are three controls to check that each society follows the set time schedules. At the street La Campana they spare the time control of the General Council of Brotherhoods and Fraternities of Seville, somebody that takes note of the quantity of brotherhoods, both the so-called Penitence and Glory. Lately this street has become the best spot to see from the Aparameto Sevilla the different brotherhoods and finding a place to view from is just about not possible. The second control, carried out by the citys authorities, is found in plaza de San Francisco also called Palcos which is socially talking the most vital place to see the fraternities. Here access is limited 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 planned prior to the procession and is subject to aparticularly strict time schedule which can’t be changed. If for whatever reason, such as weather or agreater force the procession can’t be finished the float is cancelled and the society will need to wait an entire year and try it again.
