On the morning of the 6th of January the wise men from the east go from door to door in the villages presenting the gifts (collected previously in the town hall) to the children. Custom requires the children to put out a glass of liqueur or cognac for the kings and water for the horses before going to sleep so that the next morning they have been replaced with presents.

The Easter ceremonies begin on Palm Sunday, which this year falls on the 9th of April. At the Mass of the Lord&#8217;s Passion in Palma&#8217;s Cathedral La Seu, palm trees and olive branches are blessed with holy water. The following week is a time for repentance: <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b>Green Thursday (on the 13th April)<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\"> is a regional holiday and the shops stay closed. In the Easter processions, numerous lay-brotherhoods provide a taste of the middle ages and giant saints, figures of Jesus and Madonnas are carried through the city and villages accompanied by eerily shrouded figures with long, pointed hoods. In Palma, there are more than 30 brotherhoods and the penitents move through the streets to the gloomy and ominous beatind of drums which determines the pace of the steps. Also on <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b>Good Friday, the 14th of April<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\">, the processions go on and all Spain&#8217;s doors remain closed. Only after the most important mass of the whole year, the evening mass on Easter Sunday in the cathedral (where every priest in Mallorca is present) are the sinners forgiven. After this laughing, celebrating and dancing can begin again.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_843\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"width: 600px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.portamallorquina.com\/blog\/mallorca\/11080007_10152840899876376_6212968147099876194_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-843\" src=\"https:\/\/www.portamallorquina.com\/blog\/mallorca\/11080007_10152840899876376_6212968147099876194_n.jpg\" alt=\"Easter-procession through the streets of Palma\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Easter-procession through the streets of Palma<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span lang=\"en\"><br \/>\nLike in the rest of Spain on May <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en\">1st<\/span><\/span><sup><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><span lang=\"en\"> , the day of work everything <\/span><\/span><\/sup><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span lang=\"en\">on<\/span><\/span><span lang=\"en\"> the island stops, but not on Mother&#8217;s Day which this year is on the<\/span><b> <\/b><span lang=\"en\">7th May<\/span><span lang=\"en\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\"><br \/>\nIn June on<\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b> St. John&#8217;s night from the 23<\/b><\/span><sup><span lang=\"en\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">rd<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"en\"><b> to the 24<\/b><\/span><sup><span lang=\"en\"><b><span style=\"font-size: small;\">th<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/sup><span lang=\"en\"><b> June<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\"> picnics are held by candlelight on Palma&#8217;s and other beaches on the island, and luck-bringing, midnight bathing in the sea takes place, even though the days before and after are working days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\"><br \/>\nIn <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b>July, August and September<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\"> many municipalities celebrate their <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b>patron saints&#8217; festivals <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\"> with lots of dancing, devils, music, markets and many other attractions and because of this shops are often closed for days in the villages concerned. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"en\">The <\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b>17th of July <\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\">is not an official holiday, but it is still celebrated: On the day of the patron saints of the fishermen and sailors, the<\/span><span lang=\"en\"><b> Virgen del<\/b><\/span> <span lang=\"en\"><b>Carmen<\/b><\/span><span lang=\"en\">, beautifully decorated boat processions with Madonna figures take place on the water in many harbours including those of S\u00f3ller, Porto Colom, Cala Ratjada and Cala Figuera.
