As Pascuillas

Imaxe por defecto

Pilgrimage of the Virgin of A Franqueira celebrated on Pentecost Monday at the Sanctuary of A Franqueira in A Caniza, popularly known as «As Pascuillas».

It is declared a Festival of Tourist Interest in Galicia, drawing thousands of devotees from Galicia and northern Portugal. It stands out for its spectacular visual appeal: various processions arrive at the sanctuary from the parishes of A Caniza and neighboring municipalities, each carrying its flower-adorned saint or virgin statue alongside banners and standards. Ancient dances of A Franqueira and a theatrical battle between a Moorish prince and a Christian devotee are performed.
