Feast of the Patron Saint, the Virgen de la Paz
Description
The patron saint of Beas de Segura is the Virgen de la Paz. On the eve, a traditional bonfire celebration is held, where the townspeople gather to enjoy themselves, with the typical "cuerva" punch and roast potatoes never missing, before the Virgin is carried in procession through the town's streets on 24 January.
A few days beforehand, the Virgin is moved from the town's sanctuary to the parish church to celebrate her novena and festivities. Much information and many documents relating to the devotion to and patronage of the Santísima Virgen de la Paz as Patroness of this town have been lost over time.
