Abstract


Fraternities of True Cross were founded in the XIVth century or later in some cities of the Crown of Aragon like Xàtiva, Valencia, Zaragoza or Requena. In contrast, a lot of fraternities of Christ’s Blood were born in the XVIth century or later. Both of them were composed by nobles, priests, bourgeoisie and peasants, and were promoted directly by the monarchy and the Church. They were the first fraternities of Passion or Holy Week that we know in Spain. In this article we study the most important ordinances that we find today in the Crown of Aragon, including others records about some relics, subject that has to do with the dedication of these fraternities.
