Corpus Christi (Laguna de Negrillo) Leon

I quite like this dubious (Google Translate) translation of the description of events from the Corpus Christi Festival in the town of Luguna de Negrillos from this (Spanish) Wikipedia page:


[Corpus Christi] is held the weekend following the Thursday of Corpus. The main event of the festival, the procession starts at 12.00 in the Parish of San Juan Bautista, located in the town square. The religious ceremony, led by San Sebastián, accompanied by the apostles except Judas Iscariot, while eight dancers dressed in white, starched skirts emulate the angels dancing throughout the journey to the drum and flute, while the open rubbish step from the suburb to the chapel where the Eucharist is celebrated, for anything from end back to the town's parish church, where St. Sebastian makes bowing and bowing, and runs the church ashamed.
