6/14/01 The Oņatz dancers
rehearse all year, but the Korpus dancers had put in a month

The feast of Corpus Christi was intended to celebrate the body of Christ
in the Eucharist. The canopy being set up here covers a vessel
containing the Blessed Sacrament that is carried in the
procession. These men are setting the canopy up a few days ahead
of time in the cloister of the church San Miguel. |

Roughly two hours later the canopy was prepared for the
procession and was moved to a space near the altar. |
