Hermandad is a Spanish term that translates to "brotherhood" in English. It refers to a close-knit community or group of individuals who share common interests, values, or goals. Often associated with religious or cultural organizations, Hermandad emphasizes solidarity, support, and mutual aid among its members. In many Spanish-speaking countries, Hermandad can also refer to specific brotherhoods that participate in traditional celebrations, such as Semana Santa (Holy Week) processions. These groups often engage in charitable activities and foster a sense of belonging, helping to preserve cultural heritage and promote social cohesion within their communities.
