The Primitive Brotherhood of the Nazarenes of Seville, popularly known as the Brotherhood of El Silencio, has embodied the devotional spirit of the city since 1340. Founded barely a century after the reconquest of Seville by St. Ferdinand, this brotherhood has crossed the centuries adapting with elegance and firmness to each era, and has become a reference for all the brotherhoods of the capital and its province. This essential book reveals, for the first time and with an accessible and rigorous approach, the historical, artistic and spiritual aspects that have consolidated El Silencio as 'Mother and Teacher' of the Sevillian brotherhoods. From its ascetic and sober character, which every Good Friday morning captivates those who follow its penitential station, to its rich heritage and unique role in Holy Week, this work illuminates the history and particularities of a brotherhood that, despite its relevance, lacked a bibliography to match its legacy.
