Description
Das Kloster Irache liegt am spanischen Jakobsweg Camino Frances in Navarra. Einmal im Jahr findet eine aussergewöhnliche Messfeier(Missa de la Cabeza) zu Ehren des Sankt Gregorius statt. Dann wird Wasser in den Reliquienkopf des Heiligen geschüttet, gesegnet und in Flaschen an die Kirchenbesucher verteilt. The monastery of Irache is an important stop of the legendary St. James Way Camino Frances in spanish Navarra. Once a year is celebrated a special mass to honor Saint Gregory. Then the priest is filling water in the reliqiary silver head of the saint and distributes the blessed liquid to the people in the church to put it on their plants and field.
