In 1925 the 5th Gang of Black-Tailed Jews actively participated in the foundation of the Sunday Resurrection Procession; the following year, the rest of the Jewish Crews (9 Crews) were integrated. Currently the Jewish Peat consists of eight Crews, with their respective Squads and Boards of Directors.

The Peat, with the color of its costumes, the variety of its dusters and the noise of the drums, represents the people who lit Jesus of Nazareth and, later, rejoices in his Resurrection. Its current organization dates from the second half of the 19th century.

The following functions correspond to the Jewish Peat:

  • Escort the Images of the Risen Christ and Mary Magdalene with three drums, playing the one that goes in its center.
  • Escort the King of the Jews, with at least two Jews.
  • The "Step of the Evangelists."
  • Pick up for all Holy Week ceremonies.
  • Participate in the Consecration at Mass of Easter Sunday.
  • Attendance at all acts and cults of the Royal Archicofradía.
  • Appoint the King of the Jews, whose appointment will be presented to the Cabildo de la Real Archicofradía for ratification.

 

Traditionally, the minimum number of siblings to form a Gang cannot be less than twelve, with a citrator and a Gang, being dissolved the one that in three consecutive years will not reach that number.

The unified Protocol of the Black Tail provides that each year there will be two Boxes and Flags Grids, Steps and Fatigue, which will perform the tasks of collecting and all the others of the Procession, as well as the good order of it. The designation of these Crews will be carried out in an invariable turn by the correlative order of Crews.

The site of these two Quadrilleros in the Procession will be in the center and leading the Peat, while outside the Procession it will be on both sides of the Big Brother, except in the Visit of the Tabernacles, which will go to the head of the Peat with their Crews

In the Procession, the Boxes and Flags Squads will take care of putting drummers escorts to the Risen Christ and Mª Magdalena. He will also order or suspend the Evangelist's Steps.

The Peat must always escort the Procession to the door of the Church. Upon arrival, the Christ will be placed so that the two Flags of the same, the offices and the Peat of Jews make him a due inclination of respect. The Jews will lower their heads during the passage ahead of the Tabernacles and during the Consecration at the Mass of Easter Sunday.

All Jews carry a drum, except the Gang, who will use a baton with black or purple tassels as a symbol of their authority, and the two standard bearers, who will be the bearers of the two Peat Flags.

As for the drum's touch, the centennial spirit and tradition rules:

  • With the peat already formed, the Jew must follow the touch that marks his head and the Gang of his Squad.
  • If you are going to join your Gang in the parade, you will do so by the beginning of your Gang, greeting your Gang with a nod.
  • It will be avoided to abandon the formation in its route, doing it in case of extreme necessity and requesting permission from its Gang. When he goes out of it, he will do so without crossing through other Crews and Brotherhoods, even more so if they do not belong to the Royal Archdiocese.
  • The passage of a Procession will be respected, not playing the drum on the sidewalks or in the vicinity before the passage of it. Special zeal in this may be given to the passage of an Image or the passage of the Whitetail Peat. When crossing with an Image of Christ or the Virgin, they will greet respect with a nod, shutting up the drum.
  • When a group of Jews is found in the Peat, or is added to it, or the drums are silent.
  • The drum will not be played at the doors of the Churches during the celebration of religious services.
  • If a Squad goes with his cane and finds himself in the White-Tailed Peat, he will silence his drum
  • When the two Mobs are crossed, it is half a street for each one as long as both carry the two Flags. If any one carries only one Flag, it will yield the step to which it carries its two Flags.
