Held every first Sunday of July, this ritual is rooted in the rural history of the area. Its primary purpose is to bless the fields to ensure a successful harvest and to seek protection against adverse weather conditions such as hail and storms.
While prayers were historically recited in Latin, they are now conducted in Basque. This linguistic shift has not changed the core meaning of the event, which remains a vital tradition for local farmers.
The Eibar City Council has invited the public to attend, emphasizing the importance of maintaining this tradition as a key part of the local collective memory and cultural heritage for future generations.
