FERVOROSA HERMANDAD DE NUESTRO PADRE JESÚS NAZARENO

This brotherhood was founded in the last quarter of the 16thcentury, on 8th July 1576 and its see is located in the former school of Ntra. Señora de la Victoria de la orden del Señor San Francisco de Paula. Its first rules date back a year later.

Currently, it is the brotherhood that has more faithful, approximately 1283 nazarenes (some of them with candles and others with crosses). The image that goes on procession is a baroque size of a Nazarene; although anonymous, it is attributed to the Pedro Roldán School “El Mozo”.  The face of the Nazarene reflects the acceptance of his destiny, the redemptive death of Christ on the cross.  

Highlight the steep hill slope of San Antón and Encarnación square.

HERMANDAD SACRAMENTAL Y VENERABLE ORDEN TERCERA DE SIERVOS DE NUESTRA MADRE Y SEÑORA DE LOS DOLORES

The patent of this Brothehood Venerable Orden Tercera de los Siervos de María de Osuna was issued in 1719 from the Valencian convent of Holy Sepulchre of Quart.

However, the College de los Mínimos de la Victoria de la Esclavitud Servita de Nuestra y Señora de los Dolores was founded in 1730. The following year, the community of Mínimos granted the use of the chapel. The carving of the virgin is attributed to José de Mora from the end of the 17th century or beginning of the 18th century. The entire size of the virgin has a mantle and the ‘saya’ embroidered with geometrical and vegetal motifs; her clasped hands are holding a heart pierced by seven daggers.

 It goes on procession from the Victoria church on the early Good Friday, walking up the steep slope of San Antón and Encarnación square.

ANTIGUA, VENERABLE Y FERVOROSA HERMANDAD Y COFRADÍA DE NAZARENO DE NUESTRA SEÑORA Y MADRE DE LA QUINTA ANGUSTIA

In order to study the origin of this former Brotherhood, we are very fortunate of preserving the original book of foundational Rule; it is a unique case in our town. It was founded in the convent of the Holy Spirit on 30th October 1580.

Some time later, on 3rd December, they moved the see of the brotherhood to the San Francisco convent passing through different churches (Santo Domingo and Santa Clara Church) due to the collapses.

Currently, its see is located in the Victoria church.  The carving of the virgin was made by an unknown artist and dates back to the Brotherhood foundation; the image of the Christ was replaced by the present one belonging to the Illanes workshops in 1934. These two images make up an interesting iconographic version.

As a peculiarity, the float of this brotherhood has more than 400 flowers called ‘calas’ picked up by the neighborhood. Furthermore, the carving of the Piedad goes on the streets of the town in semidarkness.

HERMANDAD DEL SANTO CRISTO DE LA PAZ Y MARÍA SANTÍSIMA DEL MAYOR DOLOR

This Brotherhood was founded on April the 4th 1653 and it is located in Ntra. Sra. De Consolación Church. Since its foundation until 1836, it was ruled by the Friars of the Order III de Penitencia de Nuestro Seráfico Padre San Francisco de Asís.

The first book of the Rule of this Brotherhood dates back to 1940 and it was made by Fray Carlos María Martín Gil, from the convent of Carmen of Osuna.

The Christ of Peace is a gothic carving which dates back to 16th century by an unknown artist. The image represents a dead Christ with his head turned to one side.  It is a cruficied Christ hanging on the cross by three nails. The virgin of Mayor Dolor is a complete sculpture with a beautiful face also by an unknown artist which has a pearl polychrome.
