this procession was created in remembrance of the deliverance of the Plague in 1092. The pomp of the costumes of the participating groups and the wealth of the reliquaries carried through the streets with great ceremony make this a truly remarkable festival. This procession carries the main treasures of the Cathedral through the town, escorted by fraternities and groups in ancient costumes. All of this in the company of musicians and choirs. A wonderfully sumptuous show.
