The Virgin of Candelaria is the patroness of the Canaries, where today is a public holiday. The feast day is marked by a solemn procession and a religious ceremony attended by the region’s president, although its most famous component is a re-enactment of the discovery of the statue, with locals dressing up as guanche natives. https://web.archive.org/web/20140819085133if_/http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id=152739734783251&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islandconnections.eu%20%20%20%20&send=false&layout=button_count&width=120&show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=21 https://web.archive.org/web/20140819085133if_/http://platform.twitter.com/widgets/tweet_button.1407888064.html#_=1408438315002&count=horizontal&id=twitter-widget-1&lang=de&original_referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islandconnections.eu%2F1000003%2F1000043%2F0%2F43401%2Fdaily-news-article.html&size=m&text=All%20roads%20lead%20to%20Candelaria%20for%20Virgin%20worship%20-%20Daily%20News%20-%20Tenerife%20-%20ISLANDCONNECTIONS.EU&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.islandconnections.eu%2FGallery: All roads lead to Candelaria for Virgin worship 1 picture found: Go to galleryhttps://web.archive.org/web/20140819085133if_/http://banner.icmedia.eu/www/delivery/afr.php?zoneid=41&cb=0020https://web.archive.org/web/20140819085133if_/http://banner.icmedia.eu/www/delivery/afr.php?zoneid=11&cb=0002 | News::DAILY NEWSTENERIFEGRAN CANARIACANARY ISLANDSSPAINFEATURESWHAT DO YOU THINK?IMPRESSIONS Danish cyclist killed in LanzaroteLanzarote – 19.08.2014 – A day out cycling on the roads of Lanzarote ended in tragedy yesterday for a Danish woman who was killed when she was hit by a car near Tinajo. more… La Palma athlete returns after European successLa Palma – 19.08.2014 – La Palma 400 metre runner Samuel García is back home after his exploits at the European Championships in Zurich at the week-end. more… La Gomera fire scare La Gomera – 19.08.2014 – A fire that broke out on La Gomera yesterday and triggered fears of a first major blaze this summer on the island has been brought under control. more…Die Bonus Crab Casino Welt ist besonders attraktiv für diejenigen, die nach einem interaktiven Spielerlebnis suchen, bei dem sie aktiv an Bonusaktionen teilnehmen können.
