THE ORIGIN OF THE PARTY
The Feast of the Crosses of May is celebrated in many Spanish cities and regions around May 3.
Its origin is religious because it commemorates the day that according to tradition was found Christ's cross by St. Helena, mother of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great.
But along with this religious background, it remains popular with dancing and other cultural activities around the different streets and places where they settle crosses decorated with flowers and other reasons.
In Cartagena participate very actively in this celebration of Easter brotherhoods, with other entities such as troops and legions of Cathagineses and Romans, neighborhood associations, cultural and women, and more recently catering establishments.
