Santiago del Teide is preparing for the celebration of Corpus Christi
About 500 kilos of marble will be distributed among the different associations and municipal parishes
This weekend, specifically, on June 10 and 11, one of the most rooted traditions will take place in the municipality, as is the case of Corpus Christi, an event that has the collaboration of collectives, associations and municipal parishes.
In this festival, about 500 kilos of marble, dyes and other varieties of components will be used with which these groups will elaborate different images and tapestries in the squares and streets.
The elaboration of the carpets in the municipality on the occasion of Corpus Christi has become over the years a meeting point and coexistence and although it has an evident religious component, this activity is a municipal tradition with an important cultural and ethnographic value.
The city council will deliver to the different groups and associations all the necessary materials for the elaboration of them. The places where the carpets will be made are the squares of Santiago del Teide and Tamaimo, on the outside of the Santa Gema Centre and in the vicinity of the Church of Puerto de Santiago.
