Hermandad del Gran Poder y de la Esperanza Macarena, Catholic confraternity in central Madrid, Spain.
The Hermandad del Gran Poder y de la Esperanza Macarena operates from the Royal Collegiate Church of San Isidro on Toledo Street in Madrid.
Founded on July 16, 1940, by Sevillian residents in Madrid, including notable figures José Gutiérrez Ballesteros, Joaquín Turina, and sculptor José Rodríguez Fernández-Andes.
The brotherhood performs its penitential procession every Holy Thursday through the historic Habsburg district of Madrid, carrying religious images of Jesus and Mary.
Members gather weekly at the Casa de Hermandad for worship services, community meetings, and preparation of annual religious celebrations throughout the year.
In 1987, King Juan Carlos I of Spain granted the brotherhood the title 'Royal' and accepted the position of honorary senior brother.
