Saint Lawrence (aka "Lawrence of Rome"), who was martyred in Rome in a gridiron, was one of the most popular saints within medieval times. He was born around 225 in Osca, a place that later changed the name to Huesca. Saint Lawrence is celebrated on 10 August, when his relics are on display in Rome, while in Huesca - the "Fiesta San Lorenzo" begins. We missed it for a couple of days. The colours during the fiesta are green and white. Only very few green and white fiesta scarves were left in the dusty shop window. Here the fiesta´s (green and white) website www.fiestassanlorenzo.es/#1
