Interesting details:
This is the only Brotherhood who brought a float with canopy to the Vatican, when they went on a pilgrimage in 2000, to mark the jubilee. The Pope, John Paul II, stopped before the float and observed the image known in Granada as the ‘Madonna’. It was one of the most special moments in the history of this brotherhood.
