Rocío the brotherhood of the Rocío of Seville, of the parish of El Salvador, was canonically erected on February 17, 1934 by decree of Cardinal Eustaquio Ilundáin y Esteban. Among the Promoters were José Anastasio Martín, Emilio Pardo Bernal, José M. Delgado and Segundo de Montes Huibroso. The brotherhood was erected canonically, but the decree contained a very special clause: he could not make a pilgrimage to the hermitage of the village of Almonte for Pentecost. In 1950, a group of Brothers, enthusiastically supported by the parish priest Andrés Guillén Morales and with the very close collaboration of the lawyer José María Domenech Romero, who until his death was an honorary elder brother, carried out the efforts, not without difficulties, to obtain the Ecclesiastical authorization and thus make a pilgrimage to Rocío. The Authorization, with Pedro Segura y Sáenz being Cardinal of Seville, finally arrived on April 30, 1951. Miguel Lasso de la Vega y Marañón was the older brother.
