Brothers of Light: The Penitentes of the Southwest by Alice Corbin Henderson is a comprehensive study of the Penitentes, a religious brotherhood that originated in Spain and spread to the southwestern United States in the 19th century. The book explores the history, beliefs, and practices of the Penitentes, who are known for their intense devotion to Christ and their extreme acts of self-flagellation and penance. Henderson draws on extensive research and firsthand accounts to provide a detailed account of the Penitentes' rituals and ceremonies, including their famous processions during Holy Week. She also examines the role of women in the brotherhood and the controversies that have surrounded the Penitentes over the years. Brothers of Light is a fascinating and insightful look at a unique religious tradition that continues to thrive in the American Southwest.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
