particularities

Paso de la Virgen: María Santísima de la Angustia

As the name of the brotherhood suggests, Los Estudiantes originated in an academic environment and is associated with the University of Seville. Its rector is hermano mayor ("eldest brother", as much as: chairman) in honor of Hermandad and its chapel is located in the rectorate.

Therefore, in addition to the usual insignia, the procession has a special feature: the individual faculties of the university are represented by flags carried by Nazarenos .
