The Resurrected
Royal and Illustrious Brotherhood and Confraternity of Our Lord Resurrected and Holy Mary, Queen of Our Joy.
History
Documented since the late 16th century in the Parish of Santa Marina, throughout its history it experienced periods of splendor and decline until disappearing in the 19th century. It was rebuilt in 1927, becoming the brotherhood of the Santa Marina neighborhood.
Temple
Parish of Santa Marina de Aguas Santas. One of the fourteen royal foundations established by Ferdinand III after the Reconquest of the city in 1236. Possibly built over an earlier one, it was at this moment that it was restored and became the center of the neighborhood that would bear its name. Over time, historical events closely linked the neighborhood and the church itself to the world of bullfighting, as the great caliphs of bullfighting were baptized there.
The Images
Our Lord Resurrected
The image of Our Lord Resurrected is the work of the Sevillian sculptor Juan Manuel Miñarro López, created around 1988.
The Lord is depicted standing, with strongly defined anatomical features. He raises His right hand, while holding the “Triumphant Cross” in His left. His face, marked by an expression of pride, emphasizes His divinity. The treatment of the hair and beard is well executed. His pronounced and reddened cheekbones stand out.
Currently, the Lord processes accompanied by two Roman soldiers and an angel, all works by the Cordoban sculptor Antonio Bernal. The Roman soldiers appear terrified at the sight of the Risen Jesus, unable to believe what their eyes are seeing; they are portrayed wearing armor, short skirts, and helmets adorned with lush white plumes. The angel is the most recent addition, introduced during the 2006 penitential procession. He appears among the people, in front of the Lord, pointing to Him with both hands.
Holy Mary, Queen of Our Joy
The image of Our Lady of Joy is the work of the Cordoban sculptor Juan Martínez Cerrillo, created in 1951.
It is a dressed mannequin-style image, with only the hands and face carved. A face full of enthusiasm and joy. With elongated features, the dimple in her chin and the blush of her cheeks—free of tears in this case—stand out. Her gaze is lowered, with wide open eyes, slightly arched eyebrows, and a sharp nose among her distinct characteristics.
The image has undergone several restorations due to its condition, including one by its own creator, who altered the polychromy and facial features, and another by Miñarro in 1993 to restore its original polychromy.
Nazareno Habit
White tunic, ivory face cover, turquoise blue cincture, and white satin cape with blue lining for officers.

The Brotherhood has documentation since the late 16th century in the Parish of Santa Marina. After going through periods of splendor and crisis, it disappeared in the 19th century, but was rebuilt in 1927, becoming the brotherhood of the Santa Marina neighborhood.
The Parish of Santa Marina de Aguas Santas, founded by Fernando III after the Reconquest in 1236, has been a central nucleus of the neighborhood. Over the years, it has maintained a close relationship with the world of bullfighting, also being the baptism place of great caliphs of tauromachy.
The image of Our Lord Resurrected was created in 1988 by the Sevillian sculptor Juan Manuel Miñarro López. It depicts Christ standing, in a posture that reflects his divinity, highlighting his arrogant face, with marked cheekbones and his raised hand holding the 'Triumphant Cross.'
The image of Holy Mary Queen of Our Joy, created by Juan Martínez Cerrillo in 1951, stands out for her face full of enthusiasm and joy. Her elongated features, along with a dimple on her chin and a slight blush on her cheeks, convey a sense of joy and hope.
The most prominent insignias of the Brotherhood include the Guide Cross in silver-plated alpaca (1992), the lanterns and other liturgical objects made by Villareal (1994), and the banner embroidered in gold and silks (1998) by the Adoratrix Mothers, with oil by Manuel Murillo López.
