I got home from the airport around 6:00PM and at 7:30PM we went to la Catedral de Barcelona for the celebration of Santa Eulália. Santa Eulália was a woman who rebelled against injustice at a time when the Roman Empire was persecuting Christians. She never gave up her fight and she was killed by being put inside a barrel pierced with nailes and rolled down a hill.
Santa Eulalia is now interred in the Crypt of la Catedral and she is celebrated every year with a big celebration in the Placa Nova right outside the Catedral.
We walked over to Placa Nova and there was a huge parade of people with sparklers dancing around the streets. It was quite a thing to see, there were hundreds of people: old and young, celebrating around the Catedral. I will also add pictures of this tomorrow when I get them onto my computer! I will write back later on this week.
