Religious Celebration in Honor of the Body of Christ “Corpus Christi”, at the Villa de Los Santos

The date is Thursday, June 3, 2021 (Corpus day), and includes traditional and traditional elements dating back to colonial times. This party lasts for several days:

• On Saturday, May 29, the eve of the Holy Trinity. At 12:00 am. the devil leaves the Simon Bolívar Park, launching rockets in their wake.

• June 2 is “Corpus Christi Eve”. At 11:00 am. the devil comes out and announces the quartering of the sun. There are dances, music and cultural events day and night.

• On Thursday (Corpus Christi day) local traditional dances converge with dances from other American countries, in honor of the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.

The dances and folkloric presentations are repeated in La Villa de Los Santos from June 10 to June 13, a day dedicated to Santeña´s  women.
