A Nosa Señora, patron saint of Miño
The procession of Nosa Señora, patrona de Miño (Our Lady, patron saint of Miño), takes place every year in the parish church of Santa Maria of Miño, who has many devotees.
The procession is held on 15th August.
A Mass in honour of Nosa Señora is celebrated at around 12.30. The Asociación Cultural Recreativa y Deportiva O Castro offers the parish the musical accompaniment of its choir and rondalla during the Eucharist.
Floral carpets in her honour
The atrium of the church is decorated with carpets and beautiful embellish made from natural materials.
The two cruceiros (typical Galician crosses) facing each other are decorated for the occasion with brightly coloured flowers. An arduous and laborious work carried out by the association of carpets and ephemeral art of Perbes/Miño.
The image of Nosa Señora is carried and accompanied by the parishioners from the Church of Santa Maria to Rúa Raxel (Raxel Street), to guide it back inside the church. During the procession, the image is raised with veneration while the band plays solemn music.
The ringing of bells and the launching of palenque bombs announce the arrival and departure of the event.
