Annual patronal festival honoring Ceuta’s patron saint, St. Daniel, commemorating Franciscan martyrs of 1227. It features religious ceremonies (Missa and procession through the city) and secular events (street fair, concerts, livestock blessings) 1. The procession of the saint’s statue on or around October 10 is the culmination of the celebration.
Rooted in medieval history, the festival recalls the martyrdom of seven Franciscan friars in Ceuta in 1227, a story revived after Ceuta’s reconquest in 1415. Today, it reinforces Christian traditions in Ceuta alongside the city’s Muslim festivities 1.
