The Illustrious Brotherhood of the Holy Cross of the Redeemer and the Immaculate Conception, his Mother, known as the ''Vera Cruz'' or ''True Cross'' is a Catholic fraternity established in Salamanca, Castile and León, Spain in 1506. ==Mission and activities== The brotherhood of the Cross has the mission of promoting the devotion to the Cross of Christ and the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To achieve this objective, the members of the brotherhood celebrate several ceremonies, processions and masses according to the liturgic calendar of the Roman Catholic Church and the ''Estatutos'' o constitutions of the own brotherhood. The brotherhood is known as the ''Vera Cruz'' or ''True Cross'' because the institution owns a relic consisting in physical remnants which, by a Christian tradition, are believed to be from the cross upon which Jesus was crucified. The most popular activities of the ''Vera Cruz'' are the Holy Week processions. The ''Vera Cruz'' is the oldest brotherhood in Salamanca so are some of its processions. The ''Vera Cruz'' celebrates four processions during Holy Week and another one during the celebrations of the Corpus Christi feast. * Friday of Sorrows (A week before Good Friday): Procession of the Via Matris (The Way of Mary) 1909. * Monday of Holy Week: Procession of the Cristo de los Doctrinos. 1985 * Good Friday: Ceremony of the Descent from the Cross. 1615 * Good Friday: Procession of the Entombment of Christ. 1615 * Easter Sunday: Procession of the Meeting or Resurrection. 1616 * Sacramental Feast (Eight days after Corpus Christi feast): Procession with the Corpus Christi. 16th. century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illustrious Brotherhood of the Holy Cross of the Redeemer and the Immaculate Conception, his Mother (Salamanca)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
