Español: Fiestas de San León (Benamaurel, Granada, España)
La devoción a San León esta relacionada con los repoblación de manchegos en el siglo XVII. A este santo se le atribuían milagros tales como la eliminación de plagas, a los que se les añadieron los de evitar terremotos o salvar vidas en caso de tales desastres, los cuales fueron bastante comunes durante el siglo XVIII en la comarca de Baza. Para agradecer los favores del santo los vecinos prometían hacer una o varias roscas de pan "tan grande que tuviesen que romper la puerta del horno para sacarla", de ahí proviene la tradición de las roscas que tan ligada está al santo. La festividad da comienzo el día 10 de abril (en caso que coincida con la Semana Santa la celebración se retrasa una semana), también conocido como la víspera, con el volteo de las campanas y el lanzamiento de cohetes y petardos por la mañana, pero es por la tarde, tras la última sesión del Triduo cuando se recibe a los nuevos hermanos con la imposición de medallas bendecidas y la bendición de las roscas. El día 11 de abril comienzan los actos con el reparto de roscas en la Plaza Mayor, las roscas corren a cargo de la Hermandad de San León, que obsequia a cada hermano con una rosca grande y seis pequeñas, y a todo asistente con una rosca. Esta fiesta está registrada en el Atlas del Patrimonio Inmaterial de Andalucía.

The devotion to San León is related to the repopulation of La Mancha in the 17th century. Miracles such as the elimination of plagues were attributed to this saint, to which were added those of avoiding earthquakes or saving lives in case of such disasters, which were quite common during the 18th century in the Baza region. To thank the saint for the favors, the neighbors promised to make one or several bagels "so big that they had to break the oven door to get it out", hence the tradition of the bagels that are so closely linked to the saint. The festivity begins on April 10 (if it coincides with Holy Week, the celebration is delayed a week), also known as the eve, with the tolling of the bells and the launching of rockets and firecrackers in the morning, but It is in the afternoon, after the last session of the Triduum, when the new brothers are received with the imposition of blessed medals and the blessing of the threads. On April 11, the acts begin with the distribution of threads in the Plaza Mayor, the threads are in charge of the Brotherhood of San León, which gives each brother a large thread and six small ones, and every attendee with a thread. This festival is registered in the Atlas of the Intangible Heritage of Andalusia. To know more about the project: http://www.iaph.es/web/canales/patrimonio-cultural/patrimonio-inmaterial/atlas/ |
