Description
The traditional blessing of the Saint's rosquillas ends with mothers keeping these "blessed" bread rings for a long time, to be eaten in small pieces by children as an effective remedy whenever they suffer a coughing fit. Similarly, the coloured ribbons that have been held in the saint's hand are used, once tied around the neck, to treat and prevent throat ailments.
