Tradition Granada

Tradition says that a Cross made in alabaster was erected in the neighbourhood of San Lázaro in 1625 being cellebrated with dancing.

At the beginning of the 20th centuries children used to build little altars with a Cross in the neighbourhoods of Albaicín and Realejo. They decorated them with Manila shwals, pieces of pottery, copper pans and a "pero" (a type of apple) with a scissor stuck in it. Around it, the children used to beg for the "chavito" (diminutive for "ochavo", an old Spanish coin).
