Pilgrimage organized by the Cultural Association of Santo Domingo, in collaboration with the Dominicans, with the desire to recover the hermitage, abandoned for a long time, as well as the pilgrimage itself.

The pilgrims carry the image of the Virgin of the Roser to the hermitage, located at the top of the hill of Santa Llúcia (214m), about two km south of the town of Manacor.

Mass, blessing, adoration of the image, lunch and boat dance.

The hermitage is also known as the Rosary, the Friar Oleza or the Puig de Santa Llúcia. It was founded in the seventeenth century by a small community of hermits. Its current appearance is modern (1916-1961) but it retains a Gothic style arch and remains of the seventeenth-century chapel. The carving of the Virgin Mary is from the fifteenth century and comes from the old convent of San Domingo (Palma). The dedication to the Virgin of the Roser (or of the Rosary) appears in the fifteenth century and is very typical of the Dominican order.

You can continue the walk through the Llodrà mountain range (of which the Puig de Santa Llúcia is the northern end) to the Castellet rock (289m) and the sanctuary of the Sagrat Cor de Jesús (built in 1880).

We don’t know of any.
