Cruces de mayo / May Crosses [ES-EN]

El sábado por la noche fuimos a pasear por el barrio de Santa Cruz de Alicante (España) con motivo de la festividad de las cruces de mayo. La fiesta de las cruces de mayo se celebra con motivo del día de la Santa Cruz (3 de mayo) y da nombre a este barrio de Alicante.

Para la celebración, los vecinos decoran las calles y preparan cruces hechas con flores, todas distintas y cada cual más elaborada que guardarán sus casas y cada rincón de las calles de Santa Cruz llenándolas de color.

Más allá de las cruces como símbolo religioso que no va conmigo, ver la combinación de flores que cada vecino elige para adornar las cruces me parece maravilloso y creo que vale la pena verlo.

En una de las calles del barrio de Santa Cruz, nos cruzamos con la banda de música y justo en ese momento, empezó a llover. Después de más de dos meses sin una gota, va y se pone a llover en ese momento. No le entiendo, porqué la banda de música tocaba muy bien.

Empieza a llover

Pensábamos que sería una tormenta corta pero no fue así. Estuvo lloviendo sin parar casi una hora y eso aquí no es muy normal. Se terminó la fiesta.

On Saturday night we went for a walk in the Santa Cruz neighborhood of Alicante (Spain) on the occasion of the feast of the May crosses. The festival of the crosses of May is celebrated on the occasion of the day of the Holy Cross (May 3) and gives its name to this neighborhood of Alicante.

For the celebration, the neighbors decorate the streets and prepare crosses made with flowers, all different and each one more elaborate that will guard their houses and every corner of the streets of Santa Cruz filling them with color.

Beyond the crosses as a religious symbol that does not go with me, seeing the combination of flowers that each neighbor chooses to decorate the crosses seems wonderful to me and I think it is worth seeing.

In one of the streets of the Santa Cruz neighborhood, we passed the music band and just at that moment, it started to rain. After more than two months without a drop, it starts to rain at that moment. I don't understand him, because the band was playing very well.

We thought it would be a short storm but it was not. It was raining non-stop for almost an hour and that is not very normal here. The party was over.
