medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There are still a lot of "cofradias" in Spain as well. Most of them have
their origins in late Medieval times, but there are also a lot created
in the 17th century. Many of them carry in procession in the Holy Week.
There are a lot of web pages from these confraternities.
Devotion to the cofradia images is very strong, so it is quite usual also
in Spain to make small images from the Saints or Virgins and having them at
home.
Regards,
Francisco Javier Rojo
