He is the patron saint of Frailes and, therefore, a local festival day. His hermitage is located at Las Eras del Mecedero, and every 29 June, with great solemnity, Mass is celebrated in the morning, sheltered in the shade of the nearby walnut trees.

In the afternoon, a procession is held, and once it ends, an open-air dance takes place, with young and old alike joining together in rhythmic movement.

Since 1779, Frailes has had a Brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament, and although with ups and downs, celebrated with greater or lesser splendour, the feast of the Day of the Lord has been held without interruption; in recent years, however, the celebration has been taking on a splendour well worth coming to see.

The streets along which the Monstrance passes are carefully decorated. From the night before, residents take part in preparing the decorations for façades and balconies, hanging bedspreads, mantillas and shawls.

As the saying goes: 'Santa Lucía shortens the night and lengthens the days'. And that's exactly what happens as winter sets in, when the light of the Syracusan saint begins to shine.

Although this festival has been celebrated since ancient times, it gradually faded away, as the olive harvest kept people too busy, and the patron saint's celebration stopped being held.

In the 1960s, a group of people from Frailes, led by Luis Cano Martín, revived the tradition, and ever since, the patron saint has been celebrated with a church service in the morning and a procession in the afternoon.
