Festa de la Llum – Candlemas at La Seu ✨
Monday, 2 February 2026 | Palma
Twice a year, La Seu hosts one of Mallorca’s most extraordinary natural phenomena: the Festa de la Llum (Festival of Light).
On the morning of Candlemas, the rising sun aligns perfectly with the cathedral’s great rose window, allowing light to pass through its 1,115 pieces of stained glass and project a spectacular burst of colour inside the cathedral.
This moment is linked to La Candelera (Candlemas), a centuries-old Christian feast commemorating the presentation of Jesus and the purification of Mary, traditionally associated with the blessing of candles and the symbolism of light.
