La Purísima

La Purísima de la Ermita is the patron saint of Catral. It is the Archicofradía of the Holy Rosary and the Purísima de la Ermita which is responsible for organizing the popular and religious celebrations, which begin on December 7 with the transfer of the Patroness, from the Hermitage to the Parish Temple. Day 8 is the big day and a Solemn Procession is celebrated, with the assistance of authorities and Queens of the Fiestas.

After a novena, in which it is customary for the priests of Catral to preach, the Virgin is returned, in Romería to the Hermitage.
