caracterizar de gloria

Spanish to English Other Religion
Description of the pilgrimage of the Virgin of La Cabeza in Andújar. Does "caracterizar de gloria" mean "characterize as of a religious nature"? If not, what?

es desde el año 1304 el escenario de la que es la segunda romería de Andalucía en mayor número de romeros y que como CARACTERIZA a las celebraciones de las hermandades DE GLORIA, junto a la exaltación religiosa, la festividad pagana cobra una especial relevancia

Or should it read "as is characteristic of celebrations by religious brotherhoods"?

What you've got in your added note is what it means (characteristic or typical of celebrations by...). The "gloria" goes with "hermandades"; it's one of the types. There's a whole list of these types here, with their descriptions:

The description for Hermandad de Gloria:

Esta denominación indica primariamente, desde la perspectiva sevillana, una carencia: el hecho de no ser hermandades de penitencia. Su culto es a imágenes que no tiene relación con los misterios pascuales. Normalmente son hermandades con poca cantidad de hermanos, aunque cada cual procesiona un día determinado.

I think I might just call them "non-penitential (religious) brotherhoods" since that seems to be their main feature.
