The origins of this holiday are the eighteenth century when, after a storm appeared a mysterious boat stranded on the beach without any passengers on board, completely empty. The entire population was scared thinking that the ship had been cast adrift because some crew had caught the plague. Unanimously, they decided to burn the ship to eliminate any source of infection and keep safe the entire population. After burning and after a few days, some children playing in the ashes found an image of the Virgin intact. It was a miracle!
The holidays are celebrated for five days where activities of all kinds and for all tastes
"La Mona". It is a typical Easter bun, is made with flour, eggs, oil, sugar and milk and is topped with a boiled egg in the center. But before eating we must continue the tradition of stamping egg in front of a friend reciting the following verse: "AÇI pica, cou AÇI, AÇI es menjala monai Açi es trnca l’ou." That translated would be "here it itches, here it stings, here I eat the bun and here I break the egg . "
