This date was a turning point for the neighbourhood around the Otero Christ. The streets clearly showed the area had been forgotten and abandoned. The mud spilled out into the streets, there were few street lights and no phone booths.<\/p>\n
It was nearly time for the pilgrimage and an organised group of young people decided to take action, calling for changes, with the support and protection of the parish priest, Father Lucinio. They prepared pamphlets to get everyone involved and went up into the statue and managed to hang a huge sign from its eyes. Plus, that day they decided to return all the bags of bread and cheese tossed from the balcony to the authorities.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Days after the protest, the City Council put two people in charge of finding solutions to the issues the protests had called attention to. During this process, it became necessary to legally channel and manage all these requests. So, following the example of bigger cities, the first neighbourhood association was born in Palencia, with Miguel \u00c1ngel Lacarra as its first president.<\/p>\n
The association was extremely strong and dynamic from the start, aiming to continue promoting solidarity, participation and dialogue in the area, as well as making the St. Turibius pilgrimage the core of its neighbourhood festivities.<\/p>\n
The St. Turibius festivities always kick off the Sunday before the throwing of the bread and cheese with an event that dates back to 1981 called \u2018la sardinada\u2019, in which people gather in the old church esplanade to eat sardines. As expected, its popularity among residents has made this event a yearly staple and over time it became a \u2018torreznada\u2019, with people gathering to eat fried pork belly chunks. Other elements were added later, such as the \u2018cohet\u00f3n\u2019, or firework that kicks off the festivities, the opening proclamation, the \u2018Cristo de la Alegr\u00eda\u2019 and \u2018Cristo de la Tristeza\u2019 awards ceremony and performances by local dance troupes.<\/p>\n
Other activities fill the neighbourhood with joy all week long, mainly children\u2019s activities, sports, honouring the elderly and the famous outdoor night-time dances and fireworks displays at the feet of the Christ.<\/p>\n

Because, when they needed people to carry the saint in the procession, the City Council invited the brotherhoods to join in the celebrations, as they had already been doing for the feast of St. Antoninus. And it was the St. Antoninus brotherhood that first answered the call, until the St. Turibius brotherhood was founded one year later on Friday 16 April 1982.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
At that year\u2019s Sunday pilgrimage, the parish priest of St. Ignatius and St. Agnes blessed the brotherhood\u2019s banner before kicking off the votive procession, led that year by the women of the brotherhood carrying the figure.<\/p>\n
Since then, the pilgrimage has become one of the city\u2019s most important celebrations, fuelled by its popularity and promoted by the city departments, El Cristo Neighbourhood Association and the St. Turibius brotherhood.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”gcid-a0cc5f98-b73f-4591-b3a0-3eaef47d22ed” custom_margin=”||120px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-a0cc5f98-b73f-4591-b3a0-3eaef47d22ed%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”_initial” header_3_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_3_font_size=”40px” background_color=”gcid-27551026-38ed-461b-928f-c789faf87b8f” width=”75%” width_tablet=”75%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin=”||-10px|-50px|false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||-10px|-50px|false|false” custom_margin_phone=”||-10px|-50px|false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”20px|50px|20px|50px|true|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_3_font_size_phone=”30px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-27551026-38ed-461b-928f-c789faf87b8f%22:%91%22background_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

Thanks to its longevity and uniqueness, along with the increased budget set aside for festive events attracting regional attention to the celebration, the pilgrimage was declared a Celebration of Regional Tourist Interest in May 2005.<\/p>\n
