Huesca - Fiesta

Saint Lawrence (aka "Lawrence of Rome"), who was martyred in Rome in a gridiron, was one of the most popular saints within medieval times. He was born around 225 in Osca, a place that later changed the name to Huesca. Saint Lawrence is celebrated on 10 August, when his relics are on display in Rome, while in Huesca - the "Fiesta San Lorenzo" begins. We missed it for a couple of days.

Here is a website, where you can see, what happened in Huesca:
