Cofradías

Starting in 1935, a series of events led the faithful to group together in various brotherhoods.

Since the 18th century, the floats were carried on the shoulders by the so-called tertile, farmers and ranchers from the surrounding area, who wore black habit and tertile. In 1935 the political tension and the difficulties that the country was going through made it very difficult to organize the Procession of the Holy Burial, so the steps were taken by members of religious associations and young people.

In 1937, the first Holy Week brotherhood was created, organizing an independent procession and taking charge of the passage of Our Lady of Mercy.

In successive years, other brotherhoods were created, up to 25, each with its own peculiarities, which were taking charge of the steps owned by the Blood of Christ, or commissioned their own steps. In 1940, the brotherhood of the Seven Words will choose the Bajo Aragón drum to accompany its processional parades, an instrument that most of the brotherhoods will later adopt. Some brotherhoods preferred to recover more Zaragoza traditions, such as the rattles, the carracas or the singing of the jota accompanied by the drum.

The greatest peculiarity of our Holy Week is that the brotherhoods as a whole, in addition to carrying out their particular processions, join the procession of the Holy Burial, composing a complete Via Crucis, where all the moments of the Passion can be contemplated.

Starting in 1935, a series of events led the faithful to assemble into various confraternities.

In the eighteenth century, the floats were carried on the shoulders of the so-called terceroles, local farmers and ranchers, who wore a black habit and hood. In 1935, political tension and the problems that the country was experiencing made it very difficult to organize the Procession of the Holy Burial; the terceroles staged a strike, so the floats were taken out by members of religious associations and young people.

In 1937, the first Holy Week confraternity was created, which organized an independent procession and took possession of the float of Our Lady of Mercy. This new confraternity wore a different habit to distinguish it from its parent confraternity, with which it marches in the procession of the Holy Burial.

In successive years, other confraternities were created, up to 24, each with its own characteristics, which carried the floats owned by the Confraternity of the Blood of Christ, or commissioned their own. In 1940, the Confraternity of the Seven Words chose the drum of Lower Aragón to accompany its processions. This instrument was later adopted by most of the confraternities. Some confraternities preferred to bring back other traditions more typical of Zaragoza, such as rattles, noisemakers and the singing of thejota to the beat of the drum.

The most unique feature of our Holy Week is that all of the confraternities, in addition to staging their own processions, join the procession of the Holy Burial to make up a complete Via Crucis, showcasing every image from the Passion.
