The Descent of the Throne and the Romería of the Virgen de las Nieves

The Descent of the Throne and the Romería of the Virgen de las Nieves are central events in the Lustral Festivities of Santa Cruz de La Palma, celebrated every five years. The Descent of the Throne marks the beginning of the celebrations with the solemn transfer of the silver throne pieces from the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Snows to the Main Parish of El Salvador. This act symbolizes the preparation for the arrival of the Virgin in the city.
