Home » Zaragoza City's Crystal Rosary
The Church del Sagrado Corazon (of the Sacred Heart), located in San Pedro Nolasco Square has the Rosario de Cristal (meaning the Crystal Rosary or Glass Rosary). During the Pilar fiestas (Around 12 October) there is a large procession along the main streets downtown, where they display scenes of religious buildings like the basilica, on wheeled carts.
The parade floats are all made of crystal and stained glass, and are lighted from the inside and the people in the procession recite the rosary. This church contains the floats with the exhibits of crystal and stained glass and has a show. The loudspeaker in the church explains each float and the float lights up. So one goes from one float to the other and gets the whole story. The floats are about 10 feet long by 6 feet high. Church is open all year.
