On the occasion of a Franciscan congress held in 1914, the construction of a Stations of the Cross around hermitages and sanctuaries was promoted. Núria quickly responded to the proposal, and the following year Bishop Benlloch laid the first stone.
Throughout history, many couples who did not know why but could not have children have come here to ask for it. With a prayer before the cross, and by placing their head in the pot while ringing the bell, they have obtained the gift of fertility.
The sanctuary used to be reopened and the flocks were brought back up to the mountain pastures. Currently, this day continues to be celebrated with a solemn mass and the blessing of bread and farinetes (porridge/gruel).
Feast of Saint Giles, where the Shepherds’ Festival is celebrated. Formerly, this day marked the end of the high mountain grazing season.
The day of the Virgin’s birth is commemorated with a gathering attended by numerous people baptized with the name Núria. After the mass, the image of the Virgin is carried to the chapel of Sant Gil, where the gozos (traditional songs of praise) are sung to her.
