He fabric It is a common fabric in the heritage of the brotherhoods. It is a support for the garments of the trousseau of images, especially the skirts and mantles of the Virgin, and sometimes, although less and less, it is used to make what is called applied embroidery. During Holy Week in Córdoba, there was also a time when it was used for Nazarene tunics.
The story was short, but it left its mark. In the first decades of the 20th century, the brotherhood Christ of GraceJust after the reorganization that would be definitive around the Crucified One who arrived from Puebla de los Ángeles in 1618, a tunic in silver cloth was put in place.
It was an unusual decision firstly because of the richness of the medium: fabric is fabric. interwoven silk with gold and silver threads. In the case of the brotherhood, in silver. As the same stories of the brotherhood tell, each piece cost a lot of money.
The idea was aesthetic, but the brotherhood soon noticed the effects of this decision, as it was not only expensive, but also larger. delicacy than twill, satin and the usual fabrics for the penitential garments of the brotherhoods. We must not forget that the Nazarenes carry wax and that it falls frequently.
This same nature ended up advising the brotherhood of Christ of Grace to replace it, in 1942. From that moment on, they began to use the most similar clothes to the current one, with a white tunic and face covering black, in addition to the Trinitarian cross.
This same tunic will later be adapted to the current one with scapular and black cape, always according to the habits of the barefoot Trinitarians, who govern the church of Parents of grace and this marks the spirituality of the brotherhood.
Since then, the fabric has remained in the brotherhoods of Cordoba for its usual use: the trousseau of sacred images and the support of standards, such as the simplified of the Holy Face.
