HISTORICAL INFORMATION:

The religious phenomenon of devotion to the Cross in Los Realejos means, inter alia, the historical origins of this tradition and for the dissemination and devotion to the Santo Madero is related to the Franciscan presence in the town. Its origin is sought in the placement of a cross at the site of what became the church of St. James (the first Christian church in Tenerife), which adds to the founding of the Franciscan convent of Santa Lucia in the early seventeenth century, which led to the placement of crosses in places away from the nuclei, the roadsides and the establishment of the Via Crucis.

In the eighteenth century and continued the celebrations at the beginning of the second half of the nineteenth century increased religious cults and festivals, including branches, arches, nuts or partying, choose to May 3 as local holiday in the municipality. Today Realejos has over three hundred crosses, in chapels, facades, temples, private homes, occupying headers streets, cliffs and rocks in the sea and Mount, Serventi, highways, viewpoints or simply nailed on the floor are signs of identity in the Villa.

Thousands of tourists and visitors who come this day to admire the monuments that realejeros floral lift at the foot of these crosses, but especially to those developed in the streets of The Sun and The Environment, and the kernel of the Holy Cross a place where they live differently than a beautiful custom, which consists in decorating and beautifying the small crosses home guard during the year in private home, then open its doors to all visitors.

The contention was that the passage of the Cross in procession, each street lighting bonfires, smoke color and made noise, so that it earned more fires, plumes of smoke have made more noise.​
