Shield: 

Mainly we find the shield of the Augustinian congregation from which this Brotherhood was born, for this reason we find a heart, as a center of illumination pierced by an arrow, a symbol of deep repentance, all superimposed on a book, reverenting Saint Augustine, Doctor of the Church and on a cross, symbol of Christianity, Tree of Salvation. At the bottom of the shield we can find the words “Hermandad Agustina”, once again referring to the origins and spirit of the corporation. They finish the discreet circular decoration shield.

 

Dress: 

It is traditional for this Brotherhood to wear a red vest. Mask and cape made in blue. Red and Blue are two representative colors of the Colegio San Agustín de Alicante. He also wears a belt, white gloves and socks, black footwear and a medal of the brotherhood.

 

History: 

In a letter with registration of entry in the Greater Board dated July 20, 1998, the creation of a new Brotherhood in the College of Augustinians is requested. In this way, as expressed in the aforementioned letter, the Agustina family is incarnated at Holy Week in Alicante.

 

The presence of the Augustinians in Alicante is dated by Dean Bendicho, in his Chronicle of Alicante, June 28, 1585. They settle in the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Lluc and is described by the historian Jordán as a “house of studies and place of virtue and letters”. Years later they located their residence in what is now the Plaza de Quijano, disappearing in 1834 due to the exclaustration of all the religious orders. The Augustinians returned to settle in Alicante in 1969, this time in the Juan XXIII neighborhood from where they wanted to share with the people of Alicante, their life, their culture and the pulse of the city itself.

 

The constitution of the new Brotherhood is approved in a letter signed by the President of the Greater Board, Don Emilio Coloma Aracil, dated July 27, 1998, and in which the day and time of entry into the Official Career is established.

 

Days later, specifically on August 4, 1998, the draft statutes of this new Brotherhood are passed through the registry of the Junta Mayor. The legal constitution session is held on October 5, 1998, appointing a Management Commission.

 

The Statutes were definitively approved on December 15, 1998 and participating in Holy Week in Alicante on Holy Monday, March 29, 1999.

 

It is worth noting the interest shown by the religious community of the Augustinians in this type of initiative and by the group of Brotherhoods and Brotherhoods of Alicante. More if possible due to the problems they had with the person who carried out the carving, who, in addition to not meeting the deadlines agreed in the contract signed for the completion and delivery of the work, dared to send a telegram in which it was not done. responsible for the possible breakage of it during the processional parade Although established in the Colegio de San Agustín, the Brotherhood begins its annual Penance Station from the Hermitage of San Roque located in the neighborhood of the same name, creating a great expectation to see her descend to the Plaza del Carmen by the stairs and the narrowness of the street. Upon their return, after entering the Co-Cathedral of San Nicolás, climbing the long slopes of San Nicolás and Abad Nájera streets, they will arrive again at the Plaza del Carmen and from there they will ascend, again by the stairs and narrow street of San Roque, for in a last and superhuman effort to introduce his titular image in the hermitage.
