Abstract
La Confraria de la Sang de Barcelona, fundada por Isabel de Josa alrededor de 1536, fue una de las instituciones religiosas más importantes de la ciudad de Barcelona en época moderna. Fue una de las primeras bajo advocación de la Sangre de Cristo en los territorios de la Corona de Aragón, organizadora de la primera procesión de Semana Santa y asistente espiritual de los condenados a muerte. La simplicidad de la procesión original, celebrada anualmente el día de Jueves Santo, se complica y aumenta a lo largo de los siglos XVII y XVIII. En su desarrollo se mezclarán aspectos sacros y laicos, el número de pasos aumentará progresivamente, acompañándolos de más ornamentación, fuegos artificiales, luminaria, música, etc., y acabará convirtiéndose en una gran fiesta social que transforma la fisonomía de la ciudad, aumentando cada vez más su solemnidad y ostentación.
