Synopsis of El Cristo de Medinaceli y su Archicofradía

«El Cristo de Medinaceli y su Archicofradía» is the historical essay by Enrique Guevara Pérez, published by Almuzara in paperback (368 pages, in Spanish).

Study of the Cristo de Medinaceli, an anonymous image of Sevillian origin venerated in Madrid since 1682, and of the archconfraternity that has worshipped it since 1710: captivity in Meknes, patronage of the Dukes of Medinaceli, history, legend, art and devotion, and its role in Madrid's Holy Week, with cults, heritage, processions, music and anecdotes.

The cover, with the subtitle «Cuatro siglos de leyenda, historia, arte y devoción», shows the image with embroidered purple tunic and crown of thorns, alongside three vignettes: processional members, hands counting money and a chalice.

For devotees, confraternity members and readers interested in Madrid's Holy Week and in religious and confraternal heritage.
