It was founde in 1944 in the Church of Saint Nicholas of La Villa by solicitors and businessmen, helped by the Priest Paulino Seco Herrera, under the title of Jesus in front of Pilate, which is substituted in 1946 by the nowadays Our Father Jesus of the Sentence. It makes its first penitence time on
Holy Monday 1945, being the unique brotherhood which processes on this day till 1951, when the
Brotherhood of Souls is introduced. In 1976 the Image of Holy Mary of Grace and Protection is introduced and begins its penitence time in 1979. Nowadays the Brotherhood is going to restore the Hermitage of Our Lady of Joy, in order to turn it into the new site. They are also trying to make a new Image of Our Lady of Joy, owner of the Brotherhood. The old one needs to be restored and Miguel Ángel Jurado
is going to perform a new one.
