Sant Joan: "Festa des Pa i es Peix"
The "Festa des Pa i es Peix", that has been held at the Santuari de Consolació in Sant Joan for many years, remembers the biblical episode of the multiplying of the loaves and fishes by Jesus. The events will start at 10.30 a.m. with the walk from the parish church to the Sanctuary, accompanied by the xeremiers and pipers from Sant Joan. At the Sanctuary there will be the traditional flower offering to the Virgin, the religious service and the distribution of the traditional "coquetes", blessed rolls that are marked with the five loaves and two fishes of the miracle.
The activities will continue all day with an exhibition by the local School Son Juny, a popular dance with music by Aires de Pagesia de Sant Joan and a concert by the Banda Municipal de Petra.
