Easter Sunday
Hermandad y Cofradía de la Sagrada Resurrección de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Santísimo Cristo de la Caridad en su Sentencia y María Santísima de la Aurora, Madre de la Iglesia
(Brotherhood of the Holy Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Holy Christ of Charity Sentenced and Our Lady of the Dawn, Mother of the Church)
Founded by a group of students on 8 May 1982, when the first governing body was appointed. It wasn’t until 2007 that it received its Canonical Erection, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of its founding. The pilgrimage made by this brotherhood through various churches in the city is very significant. Its canonical headquarters are currently divided between the Royal Monastery of Santa Ana and the Parish of Santa María la Real. Sister María Celina de la Presentación Sosa Monsalve (Order of Saint Clare) is an Honorary Elder of the brotherhood. The participation of the Sagrada Familia School in this procession is worth noting, as well as the ties between the brotherhood and the educational community.
Headquarters: Parish of Santa María la Real (San Agustín)
Pasos (floats)

Itinerary highlights
Start from San Agustín, winding through narrow streets on the first half of the itinerary. The traditional “Encuentro” (meeting), where they meet in San Juan (Plaza de España square) to be “bailados” (danced), looks impressive in the light of midday and is especially charged with emotion. In the second half of the itinerary, its arrival at the Virgen de la Soledad chapel and return indoors are especially noteworthy.
