Holy week
Put simply , so we all understand, the Holy Week of Seville is the staging of the Passion of Christ in different episodes which are shown in the pragmatic sculptures to Apartamentos Sevilla that are front photographs in the huge carriages accompanied by nazarenos, members of abrotherhood ; penitents. The origin was found in the doctrines of the Council of Trent. First they adopted the type of a strategy of the cross, later the special attention to certain images resulted in the creation of spiritual associations. In the Baroque period they worked as a base for organizations of guild nature and therefore they kept the names of the guilds as their reason for their origin ; the bakers, the negroes, the cart users

The next step was when these brotherhoods became the main bonding component of the area or the parish. While La Macarena, San Bernardo, San Julian are among the oldest brotherhoods, San Gonzalo, Tiro de Linea, Nervion are way more current, all of them share the same idea of area and brotherhood. In any case and independent of the historic origin of each society, at the present, the main duty of these non secular associations is to bring their members during the penitence period from their headquarters or chapel to the metropolitan Cathedral and from there back to their church.
Though seen from a precisely spiritual standpoint, the most vital thing is to come to the Cathedral and return, in truth it is more involved than that since all confraternities have to pass through what it is called the Official Route. This covers from plaza de la Campana de la Catedral passing through Streets Sierpes, piazza de San Francisco, Avenida de la Constitucin, before they enter the Cathedral through the Gate of San Miguel and leave again through Street Palos which leads out onto plaza Virgen de los Reyes. All fraternities have to do the same route. Along the route you can hire a chair to see the processions, either by purchasing a weekly or daily ticket, prices differ from day to day and depending on the chairs location.
during the journey there are 3 controls to check that each society follows the set time schedules. At the street La Campana they spare the time control of the General Council of Brotherhoods and Fraternities of Seville, someone that takes note of the quantity of brotherhoods, both the Penitence and Glory. Recently this street has become the best spot to see from the Aparameto Sevilla the different brotherhoods and finding a place to view from is just about not possible. The second control, carried out by the citys authorities, is located in square de San Francisco also called Palcos which is socially talking the most significant place to see the fraternities. Here access is limited to them accompanied by a member from the stage. The last control is done by the ecclesiastic authorities at the entrance of the Cathedral.
This route is scheduled before the procession and is subject to aparticularly stern time schedule which can’t be modified. If for any cause, like weather or a larger force the procession can’t be finished the float is cancelled and the society will have to wait an entire year and try it again.
