Five girls from the village enter the church, singing and dressed in regional costumes, and make offerings to the Virgin: two doves and a “rosca de piñonate”, a typical sweet of the village.
Its origin dates back to Pope Gelasius, in 496, who instituted the feast of the Purification of the Virgin, assimilating Roman and other previous celebrations in which fertility was worshipped.
Dressed in the typical regional costume, they are called “purificadas”. Each of them carries a distinctive sign: the first one carries a tambourine that she plays rhythmically and with which she accompanies the song performed by her and her four companions in the offering.
