Gala dinner - Cervino Award

Gala dinner - Cervino Award

The Cervino Prize is an award established in 2000 by the Society of Festeros del Santísimo Cristo de la Agonía. This award is given annually and is intended to recognize and honor people or entities that have contributed significantly to the Moors and Christians festivals in Ontinyent, either through their activities, research, or general support for the festivals.

The name of the award pays tribute to Joaquín José Cervino, Magistrate and romantic writer, who was the author of the texts of the Moor and Christian embassies that have been recited since 1860 at the Moors and Christians festivals in Ontinyent. These texts are an essential part of the festivals and have great historical and cultural value for the city, having been declared the act of the embassies, where the verses of the embassy are recited, as an Intangible Cultural Asset of Interest by the plenary session of the Consell de la Generalitat Valenciana.

The Award The Cervino is awarded at a ceremony held at the Casino of the Sociedad de Festeros. The award winner is chosen by the Governing Board of the Sociedad de Festeros, which evaluates the candidates' contributions over time. The award winners include individuals, entities and associations that have demonstrated a remarkable commitment to preserving and promoting the traditions of Ontinyent.

Parade and party posting

Parade and party posting

The Publication of Festivals act takes place on the last Saturday of June; it consists of a parade in which participate: a child and the First Tro of each comparsa, dressed in their gala costume; a bearer of the standard of each comparsa with the daily suit; the captains, ambassadors and standard-bearers of the previous year and those of the current one; and the president and representatives of the Governing Board of the Society of Festeros, accompanied by different bands of music.

The parade ends at the foot of the castle, in a Plaza Mayor packed with people waiting for the magic words.

From the platform that presides over the square, the secretary of the Society, escorted by the First Trons and children, calls the standard-bearers of the different comparsas so that the president and mayor impose the accrediting medals on them.

Next, the captains, ambassadors and standard-bearers of the past year, will carry out the protocol The mayor and the president address the audience with a few words of festive praise, ending with the expected phrase: 'Ladies and knights: We are in the Festivities!' The band plays the hymn to Ontinyent, which is sung by all those present, and the event is concluded. Significance of the Publication event: Nowadays, when we enjoy a certain economic and political balance, this is an expected event because it announces the proximity of the Festival. But in times past, with less stability in all fields - times with fearsome diseases capable of decimating the population; times when the local economy was affected by both the lack of rain and the excess of it; times of political uncertainty and war - the Publication was not just another day of celebration; it was not only music and a parade in the streets; it meant much more; It meant that there would be festivities that year and that the groups that took part in them - and only those - would be the ones that would participate in the upcoming festivities.
