Panteón de la Hermandad de Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Misericordia
Panteón de la Hermandad de Nuestro Padre Jesús de la Misericordia connects Málaga with the history of a religious brotherhood founded on 10 April 1864. Its origins lie in aid for poor and sick people in the Perchel neighbourhood. Religious devotion and social work shaped its place in Málaga’s cultural life.
The brotherhood suffered decline after the Revolution of 1868 and the First Republic in 1873, with processions becoming sporadic until 1896. Francisco Cabrera Anaya and other members reorganised it in 1918. Holy Week processions then included the Virgin of Dolores, while Spanish Air Force members also took part in later ceremonies.
Much of the artistic heritage disappeared in 1931, including the Nazareno known as “El Chiquito”. Only the right arm survived. In 1940, sculptor José Navas Parejo incorporated that arm into a new image, preserving one tangible fragment of the brotherhood’s earlier history.
