Hablar del origen de\u00a0la Semana Santa de\u00a0Montilla es hacerlo, inevitablemente, de la g\u00e9nesis de\u00a0su hermandad primigenia: la Cofrad\u00eda Penitencial de la Santa Ve\u00adra Cruz, cuyas primeras referencias hist\u00f3ricas datan de la primera mitad del siglo XVI. De esta forma, sus hermanos llevan bien a\u00a0gala la importancia hist\u00f3rica del\u00a0patrimonio art\u00edstico y cultural\u00a0que atesora su corporaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n
En septiembre de 1576, el montillano Andr\u00e9s de Mesa, regidor\u00a0de la villa de Montilla y mayordomo de la cofrad\u00eda de los Caballeros Cuantiosos de Santiago, don\u00f3\u00a0la imagen del Sagrado Crucificado de Indias, procedente del norte del Virreinato de Nueva Espa\u00f1a.<\/p>\n
Casado con una descendiente\u00a0del conquistador de M\u00e9xico,\u00a0Hern\u00e1n Cort\u00e9s, Andr\u00e9s de Mesa leg\u00f3 en su testamento como \u00faltima voluntad sesenta ducados pa\u00adra financiar las obras de la ermita de la Vera Cruz, ubicada en la actual Cuesta del Silencio. El templo, construido sobre una planta de tres naves, se vio sorprendido\u00a0por la invasi\u00f3n francesa en 1809\u00a0y las tropas invasoras lo tomaron\u00a0como cuartel durante su estancia\u00a0en la ciudad, siendo finalmente\u00a0expoliado.<\/p>\n
En 1816, el Ayuntamiento y la\u00a0parroquia de Santiago decidieron\u00a0edificar un cementerio para la\u00a0ciudad en el llano de la Vera\u00a0Cruz, derrib\u00e1ndose as\u00ed la ermita,\u00a0que llevaba varios a\u00f1os en estado de abandono.<\/p>\n
Este a\u00f1o, los hermanos de la Cofrad\u00eda Penitencial de la Santa Vera\u00a0Cruz est\u00e1n de aniversario. Ha\u00adce diez a\u00f1os, el templo mayor de\u00a0Montilla acogi\u00f3 un momento\u00a0hist\u00f3rico que este Martes Santo,\u00a0siempre que el tiempo no lo impida, volver\u00e1 a rememorarse con\u00a0algunos de sus protagonistas de\u00a0entonces todav\u00eda presentes.<\/p>\n
Y\u00a0es\u00a0que el 11 de abril de 2006, la parroquia de Santiago se visti\u00f3 de\u00a0gala para albergar la primera salida procesional de la nueva ima\u00adgen de Santa Mar\u00eda del Socorro,\u00a0cotitular de la hermandad m\u00e1s\u00a0antigua de la localidad. \u00abLa advocaci\u00f3n del Socorro fue introducida en Espa\u00f1a por las huestes de\u00a0Gonzalo Fcrn\u00e1ndcz de C\u00f3rdoba,\u00a0quien la trajo desde los reinos de\u00a0N\u00e1poles y Sicilia en los primeros\u00a0a\u00f1os del siglo XVl\u00bb, seg\u00fan\u00a0\u00ablos primeros manuscritos de los archivos locales ratifican que la devoci\u00f3n a la Madre\u00a0de Dios del Socorro surge en\u00a0Montilla hacia 1510\u00bb.<\/p>\n
