The Rogation of the Virgin of the Incarnation

The traditional Rogation of the Virgin of the Incarnation takes place every year, coinciding with the third Sunday of Easter. With this Rogation, the people of Adeje keep the promise they made to the patron saint more than 300 years ago.

From 9 am, pilgrims assemble in the Santa Úrsula Church, in Adeje town centre, where they commence their journey next to the venerated statue.During the journey several stops are made for musical offerings and to read passages from the Bible. The procession passes through the streets of Adeje, crossing the bridge over the motorway, before going through the Portón de la Virgen arch and continuing the journey down the traditional path, Camino de la Virgen, over the red rocks which still bear the tracks of the carts used long ago. After stopping in Era, the statue will be received by the statue of Saint Sebastian at the entrance to El Humilladero, where the statue of the Virgin was found according to tradition. Finally, both statues will enter the Church together where the Eucharist will take place.
