Fiestas del Cristo de La Laguna

The festivities of El Santísimo Cristo de La Laguna are an iconic event that spans the entire month of September, known for their rich blend of cultural, sports, and artistic activities designed for audiences of all ages. However, at the heart of these celebrations are the religious traditions, which hold a central place in the festivities. Among the most significant events are the solemn "Bajada del Cristo", where the image is lowered for the traditional kissing of the feet and then transferred to the Cathedral of La Laguna, the main day when the Cristo is returned to its Sanctuary, and the "Octava del Cristo", which culminates in a procession around the Plaza del Cristo and the raising of the image back to its altar. These moments of devotion are accompanied by spectacular fireworks displays.
