Semana Santa, or Holy Week, is one of the most important religious celebrations in Spain. In Jerez, a city located in the southern region of Andalusia, Semana Santa is celebrated with great fervor and devotion. The tradition dates back to the 16th century when the first brotherhoods, or hermandades, were established. These brotherhoods were formed to promote the Catholic faith and to help the needy.
