31 Brotherhood of Hope Macarena in La Macarena in Seville, Spain

Brotherhood of Hope Macarena is a Catholic order founded in 1595. Between 1653 and 1949, they resided in this 13th century Church of San Gil near the Arch of La Macarena. Since then, Hermandad de la Macarena has been associated with the Basilica of Macarena. Despite all of the charitable work performed by the 13,000 brothers in Seville, they are best known for their role in the processions during Holy Week. Crowds of thousands attend the festival called Semana Santa de Sevilla to watch elaborate floats carrying religious icons plus costumed performers acting out the persecution of Christ. The highlight is El Silenco on Good Friday, a parade that began in 1340.
