Patronal festivities of Villanueva de Gállego (Zaragoza), spread throughout the year. The so-called small festivities are held on 15 May in honour of San Isidro Labrador, while the main Festa Major is dedicated to the Santas Reliquias, a silver reliquary brought from Rome in the early 17th century; it was traditionally held on the last Sunday of September, although in recent years it has been moved forward to early August. The local festive calendar also includes Santa Águeda, on 5 February, San Antón, on 17 January, with its traditional bonfires, a living nativity scene at Christmas and the Día del Comercio (Trade Day), on the first Sunday of September.
