Serra Magdalena Pollença tomorrow afternoon live one of the most important cultural events of the village near the feast of the patron saint, Sant Antoni de l'Estendard procession. This is the feast of Corpus Christi, one of the oldest religious manifestations that remain on the island, and which are the Eagles players and Sant Joan Pelós, who dance and go in procession through the main streets of town.
A Although the celebrations last only an afternoon, hiding behind many hours of hard work and dedication. An example of this was the dress rehearsal that took place Thursday night and where you could see how they develop the stars of this year, which are the twin Joana Aina and Antonia Perez Mariano, who represent the eagles , and the young Cristōfol Llompart, to be Sant Joan Pelós.
The three danced under the watchful eyes of family and friends and clothed by the three women for years with love and care organized the celebration: Maria Vives, Magdalena Aina Vilanova and Encrypt .
"It's a dream come true, from small both wanted to become eagles and get it is a pride and satisfaction," said a nervous and excited Aina Joana Perez. Usually choose by lot to the girls who will be the Eagles, but there is the exception that if there are two twin sisters who no longer want to be the draw and both go directly to represent them.
Nevertheless, the organization has decided to remove this exception next year before the twin births increased in recent years and thus allow a more level playing field among the youth of the town.
Four kilos of weight
One of the items that catch our attention is the colorful procession carrying eagles costumes and reproduces in part the shape of birds. Each is dressed in white and waist placing a cardboard frame adorned with colorful ribbons and is adorned with numerous jewels and gold. Such is the carrying amount of jewelry estimated that each of the girls look up to four kilos gold top. Indeed, the presence of jewelry in your wardrobe girls is one of the factors that demonstrate the strong linkage of the residents of Pollença with the festival, because all of them have been borrowed by families in the municipality.
The week before the celebration , a group of women of Pollença sews handmade jewelry on eagles costumes, each with a thread of a different color to know what family it belongs to each.
To prevent theft of parts and the consequent displeasure their owners, are guarded at all times by the bank Caixa pollencina Colonya. In fact, the pieces are sewn in the same entity and at the dress rehearsal, which took place on Thursday to prepare the morning procession, the girls danced without them.
