next to the old place of the church of San Andrés (today the old
cemetery) which was next to the Ermita de la Vera Cruz where the
Brotherhood and the Christ were located.
The first references we
have are from the year 1490 of the Brotherhood La de la Vera
Cruz, which was located in the hermitage of Vera Cruz, it was
near the church of San Andrés, and it also belonged to it until 1642 ,
when it was suppressed as the church of San Andrés ,
remaining as annexed to
the church of San Pedro this became dependent on her, but the
brotherhood based in the hermitage continued, it carried
out the "Procession of the True Cross or the Race" it
left the night of Holy Thursday, the brotherhoods were of two
classes: the light, and blood, or, of discipline. They all wore
a white tunic or shirt and a hood or hood; the light ones
carrying a candle and the second ones disciplining themselves
during the procession, there were also women cofrades in 1717
there were 45, although What
type is not specified . In 1805
the hermitage of Vera Cruz was demolished and the Christ was
transferred to the church of San Pedro, from which the pre-session
would come from that moment. After
the procession, the
"Parva" consisting
of cakes and wine was given . The
rites and penances that took place throughout the night of Holy
Thursday that made a large number of people stay awake, who made
the vigil more bearable with a few drinks of wine, would be the
origin of the custom of making lemonade and staying whole the
night of revelry that the young people of Villafáfila have
followed since time immemorial. This brotherhood disappeared in
1880 and with it the procession. This
procession was recovered in 2010 by the Junta Pro-Semana Santa
de Villafáfila, trying to make a similarity with the forms of
that time, in addition to adding going out dressed in the
Castilian cape, and recovering the Parva, giving lemonade and
pasta.
