The hermitage has its origins in the conflicts between Aragonese and Navarrese shepherds, which led to deaths. Faced with this situation, the church wanted to bring peace, and so promoted the Brotherhood of the Virgin of the Rock, which was founded in 1521; originally this brotherhood admitted 20 members from Salvatierra and 10 from Burgui. [2] In 1628 another group of residents of the two towns emerged, who focused their devotion on Saint Joseph; the first brotherhood declined in the 20th century, becoming extinct in 1950, being replaced by that of Saint Joseph, which admits up to 30 members, and is governed by a prior, rotating by seniority.
