Taking her back
Pozoblanco brings the Virgen de Luna on Sexagesima Sunday, in February, and returns her to the sanctuary on Whit Sunday. Before the farewell the image spends a triduum (three days of worship) in three of the town's parishes.
A military-style ritual
The Pozoblanco brotherhood has a captain, a standard-bearing ensign and a sergeant. Along the way there are drum rolls, gun salutes at fixed points and the unfurling of flags, as well as the food cart and the ringing of the sanctuary bell.
