Who are confraternities?

Confraternities were corporate organizations present in a number of religious traditions that centered laypeople's charity and devotional activities on the concept of ritual kinship. They had between a dozen and a hundred members and were present in almost every urban area as well as many rural communities. Nearly 20% of the people in Antwerp in the middle of the seventeenth century belonged to a brotherhood, a figure common in other European cities. Venice had 120 confraternities in around 1500 and 387 by around 1700. A confraternity was present in nearly every rural village in Spain, where a 1771 government census counted 25,038 brotherhoods, and in 70% of the rural parishes in Trier by the late eighteenth century.
