Years: 1840 - 1851

The Cofradía de San José insurrection effectively ends with the betrayal and capture of Brother Apolinario.

He is executed on November 5, 1841.

Survivors of the movement become remontados (those who go back into the mountains), leaving their villages to live on the slopes of the volcanic Mount San Cristobal and Mount Banahao, within sight of Alitao.

These mountains, where no friar ventures, will become folk religious centers, places of pilgrimage for lowland peasants, and the birthplace of religious communities known as colorums.
