Celebration in honor of Sant Blai

It is not about any street, nor any saint, is one of the patrons of Castellon along with the Virgin of Lledó and Sant Cristobal.

Thre hundred years ago, San Blas is patron of our city and to celebrate this anniversary, this year the street parties that bear its name, had to be special.

With a wide program of events, of a playful, cultural and religious character, the neighbors and friends of the street celebrated one more year with the tradition of paying homage to the saint to whom everyone is entrusted to protect the throat.

The big day of the holidays I have with a very large representation of the world of the party and sequiol was also there. The twins Balma and Teresa adorned with clothes of “labradoras”  accompanying the saint.

From house of the clavaries to the church of the trinity, carrying the bread that a little later the priest blesses. And very close to them Marcos and Beatriz, they did not want to miss such a special morning for the small ones of the bagpipe.

The “festes de carrer”, like the gaiatas, are an essential part of the signs of identity of our people, and that they are maintained, and with such force, is very good news.
