| Pictures dancing egg Corpus Christi |
Dancing eggs Corpus Christi BarcelonaA wonderful Corpus Christi tradition in Barcelona is to make an egg dance on a jet of water. It is called 'l'ou com balla' in Catalan, which means 'dancing egg.' You can see the egg dancing tradition in several places in Barcelona during Barcelona's Corpus Christi festival from 10:00 to 20:00 at cloister fountains, patios and some gardens of public and private buildings from 10:00 to 20:00. The dancing eggs in the pictures below are from the Arxiu Històric de la ciutat in the "Casa de l'Ardiaca" on Plaça Nova and from the cloisters of Barcelona Cathedral La Seu. More dancing Eggs can also be seen in Barcelona at fountains at the Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres, the Poble Espanyol Spanish village, the Museo Frederic Marès, the Arxiu de la Corona d'Aragó, the Palau del Lloctinent in Plaça del Rei, the Ateneu Barcelonès, the cloisters of the Santa Anna church, Puríssima Concepció church and the Pedralbes Monastery. Find dates of Corpus Christi Barcelona  No-one knows how the dancing egg tradition started, but it has been part of Corpus Christi in Barcelona as far back as 1637. There is speculation it might just have been a game started by bored noblemen in their mansions on the street Carrer Montcada to amuse themselves while they were waiting for the Corpus Christi procession to pass by.       For another wonderful Corpus Christi experiences (and dancing eggs) you might also consider visiting the nearby seaside town of Sitges for the Sitges Flower carpet festival in June every year Corpus Christi dates and information Picture gallery Barcelona Barcelona events © Copyright Barcelonayellow.com.
