The blessing of the necklaces

Activity · Monleón, Guijuelo, Salamanca

Image of Monleón, not of the place itself.

On 3 February, the day of San Blas, the throat-ribbons are blessed at mass and the procession with the saint then goes out; on 23 April, for San Jorge, the residents go up with the image to the threshing floors to bless the fields.
