Spanish Brotherhoods, known as "Hermandades," are religious associations that play a significant role in the cultural and spiritual life of Spain. These groups often focus on the veneration of a particular saint or religious figure, organizing events such as processions, festivals, and charitable activities. They are especially prominent during Holy Week, or Semana Santa, when elaborate processions take place in cities like Seville and Málaga. Members of these brotherhoods typically wear distinctive robes and carry religious icons through the streets, creating a sense of community and shared faith. Each brotherhood has its own traditions, rituals, and symbols, contributing to the rich tapestry of Spanish culture and religious expression.
