Semana Santa Estepa

Seville enchants

A city of God opened its doors in the centre of Lebrija on 28 August 1518. The Monastery of the Immaculate Conception celebrated in 2018 its 500-years of uninterrupted work, daily prayer and monastic life of the Order of the Immaculate Conception, also known as the Franciscan Conceptionist Sisters, who have lived here since its opening.

The Chapel of the Our Lady of Dawn houses the titular images of the Venerable Confraternity and Brotherhood of Our Father Jesus of Humility, Our Lady of Victory, Our Lady of Dawn and Saint John the Evangelist.

In the early 18th century, the presbyter Cristobal Francisco Halcón de Cala built this small chapel-oratory dedicated to the Holy Trinity inside his house. This old, brick and masonry chapel was built in 1714-1719. The single nave is covered by different types of ceilings. The sacristy is located behind the high altar.

This rectangular, single-nave building dates from the 18th century. This temple was semi-derelict until a few years ago when the local Ecce Homo was housed within, enkindling fervour among Lebrija’s inhabitants.

The Chapel of Our Father Jesus Captive, or simply the Chapel of the Captive, is located on the Nuestro Padre Jesús Cautivo Avenue (formerly, Avenida Ancha) in Las Cabezas de San Juan. 

It was built in the early 1990s (20th century). The exterior is symmetrical with three main façades. The central facade opens onto the square through a wide door finished with a semi-circular archivolt.

The chapel is the work of Evaristo Román. It was in the early twentieth century in the popular neighbourhood of La Almazara, over an old oil mill, next to the local municipal theatre.

It has a modern religious architecture and houses the images of the Confraternity of La Borriquita, which marches in procession on Palm Sunday:
