Description
For centuries, African slaves and emancipated men marched in Seville's Easter parades, carrying statues of Christ and the Virgin on their shoulders as part of a unique brotherhood that remains active today. Founded more than 600 years ago, the Black Brotherhood is the oldest religious brotherhood still active in this southern city, which is widely seen as the centre of Holy Week celebrations in Spain. "You see people of colour in the brotherhood that you do not see in very many brotherhoods in Seville" says one young member of "La Hermandad de los Negritos", a name its members chose themselves.
