The Brotherhood of Saint Joseph the Craftsman<\/strong> was canonically established on 20 March 1958<\/strong> in the parish of Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n<\/strong>, with its statutes approved and a provisional board formed under the presidency of Antonio Delgado Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>. The image’s first procession took place on 5 May 1959<\/strong>, with Manuel Lara Lara<\/strong> as manijero (lead bearer) for its debut outing. From its earliest days, the brotherhood was closely linked to the world of work, and in particular to Lucena’s carpentry trade and industry.<\/p>\n The titular image displays an iconography close to the work of Diego de Mora<\/strong>, depicting Saint Joseph<\/strong> in early maturity carrying the Christ Child<\/strong>. Notable features include the polychromy of the ensemble, the vegetal estofado decoration, and the symbols alluding to the carpentry trade carried by two small angels at his feet.<\/p>\n Throughout its history, the brotherhood went through difficult periods, particularly during the crisis affecting Lucena’s confraternal world in the middle decades of the 20th century. Its reorganisation came in 1986<\/strong>, driven by a steering committee chaired by Antonio Garc\u00eda S\u00e1nchez<\/strong> and the work of numerous brothers led by Jos\u00e9 Jim\u00e9nez Pino<\/strong>, marking the start of an important period of consolidation in heritage, worship and organisation.<\/p>\n Among its principal milestones are the restoration of the titular images, the creation of the current processional throne designed by Francisco Angulo Servi\u00e1n<\/strong>, the revival of traditional devotions such as the Seven Sundays of Saint Joseph<\/strong>, the founding of the Asociaci\u00f3n Josefina<\/strong> in 2000, and the brotherhood’s incorporation into the Agrupaci\u00f3n de Cofrad\u00edas de Lucena<\/strong> in 2007.<\/p>\n In 2008<\/strong> the corporation celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of its founding with numerous religious, cultural and exhibition events, including a major exhibition dedicated to the figure of Saint Joseph in Lucena’s artistic heritage, coordinated by Francisco L\u00f3pez Salamanca<\/strong>. Likewise, in 2017<\/strong> the musical composition Misa de San Jos\u00e9<\/em>, by Fernando Chicano Mart\u00ednez<\/strong>, was premiered, and that same year the book La Hermandad de San Jos\u00e9 Artesano, 50 a\u00f1os de historia<\/em> was published.<\/p>\n The brotherhood marked the Jubilee Year of Saint Joseph<\/strong> in 2021 with a special programme of events and talks. The closing ceremony of this commemoration was held at C\u00f3rdoba Cathedral<\/strong>, to which the titular image was transported to take part in a solemn diocesan celebration. Each year, it celebrates the Feast of Saint Joseph<\/strong> on 19 March with special acts of worship.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/semanasantalucena.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/DSC01009-scaled.jpg” title_text=”DSC01009″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_all=”0px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n *Documentary Source: Notas para la historia de las cofrad\u00edas lucentinas (Francisco L\u00f3pez Salamanca \u2013 2022), Official Programme of the Semana Santa de Lucena 2026, and documentation provided by the brotherhood itself.<\/p>\n *Photographs: Jes\u00fas Ca\u00f1ete Fern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brotherhood of Saint Joseph the CraftsmanSaint Joseph1958Parish Church of Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n Saint Joseph the Craftsman (attributed to Diego de Mora \u2013 early 18th century) \u2013 Throne carried by […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"project_category":[],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-6024","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
