Spain celebrates one of the darkest holidays in the world every year. It is attended by people who had to be close to death, as well as everyone who wants to rehearse their acquaintance with death. The festival is called "Fiesta de Santa Marta Ribarteme" and is held in honor of Saint Marta, the patroness of the resurrected.
We have already talked about the Day of the Dead holiday. It takes place in Mexico, where the locals turn death into fun. In Spain, however, death is not so positive. Thousands of believers take part in the festival. Basically, these are those people who were close to death. For them, this holiday is a way to pay homage to Saint Martha, the patroness of the resurrected.
The celebration starts at 10 am. At first, people gather in a single crowd. The believers then lie down in their own coffin, and the friends of the living dead carry them from the church of Las Nieves to the nearest cemetery. If the living dead came to the holiday alone, he is forced to carry his own coffin. After the cemetery, the living dead return to the church and sing a song to Saint Martha, raising her statue.
On this day, street vendors sell colorful statues of the Virgin and Jesus. Festival participants eat octopuses cooked in copper cauldrons. Celebrations are also held on the main square of the city, where, in addition to dances, brass bands and entertainment programs, grandiose fireworks are arranged.
