The Magic of La Revetlla de Sant Antoni in Muro
Muro, a charming Mallorcan village, becomes the perfect setting to experience La Revetlla de Sant Antoni. Every year, on the night of January 16-17, the streets are filled with life and color to honor Sant Antoni Abat, the patron saint of animals.
The celebration begins with the traditional blessing of the animals in the local church. Farmers bring their pets and farm animals to receive the protection of Sant Antoni. This gesture reflects Muro's deep connection to the land and its agricultural traditions.
As night falls, bonfires light up the horizon, creating a magical atmosphere. The streets fill with locals and visitors who enjoy the live music, traditional dances and delicious local delicacies that characterize La Revetlla de Sant Antoni.
The Bonfire Ritual and the Demon's Dance
The central element of the celebration is the bonfires, lit in honor of Sant Antoni. People gather around these bonfires, sharing stories, and laughter and celebrating community togetherness.
A highlight is the Dance of the Devil, a theatrical performance symbolizing the struggle of good against evil. Devils in flamboyant costumes and intimidating masks dance among the flames, creating a visually stunning spectacle that reflects the island's rich cultural heritage.
