OBSERVATIONS: The brotherhood is closely linked to the Franciscans and convent of San Buenaventura. The Virgin has an original passage, mahogany and silver. At other times kneeling left foot of the cross, but it was adapted in 1954 to go up. Cross Guide Cross reproduces the Caño Quebrado (S.XVII), whose cult was the origin of the brotherhood. The Franciscan community of San Buenaventura still does not authorize the output of a second step with the Crucified of Salvation. In step depicted the Virgin in Soledad at the foot of the Cross, with the shroud and stairs. It was the first guild to represent the Virgin at the foot of the Cross, with the shroud and stairs.

HISTORICAL FACTS: The terrible plague that devastated Seville 1649 forced to enable some public places such as cemeteries. Precisely in Cano Quebrado (Plaza de Monte-Sion) an iron cross which the faithful worshiped in memory of the deceased was placed. These are the origins of the brotherhood, which it has the iron cross of that cemetery on the altar of the Virgin. Nevertheless, did not have its first rules to 1847. In 1851 he moved to San Buenaventura. His first Rules are 1847.
