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, hermandades promote solidarity and mutual support among their members. They can be found in various contexts, including Catholic traditions, where they may organize events and rituals. In many regions, particularly in Spain and Latin America, hermandades play a significant role in local festivities and celebrations. They often participate in processions, such as those during Holy Week, showcasing their devotion and commitment to their beliefs. These groups foster a sense of belonging and identity among their members.
