Festival of el Cristo de la Veracruz Activity · Alija del Infantado, La Bañeza, León Image of Alija del Infantado, not of the place itself. On 3 May the Christ is venerated in the Church of San Verísimo, with a novena and an auction offered as an act of piety: the highest bidder wins the right to carry the image into the hermitage at the end of the procession.
