Enjoying Mallorca: The fire and cross of Sant Antoni

A publicity image for Sant Antoni in Manacor this year featured a wooden wardrobe with the doors open. On the shelves lay two masks - one of the demon, the other of Sant Antoni. There was a figure of the saint for the blessings (of the animals) and there was a blue tunic. On this tunic was a white cross - the symbol of Sant Antoni. This is known as the Tau, which is not a Mallorcan or Catalan word, it is the nineteenth letter of the Greek alphabet and was also the last letter of the Phoenician and Old Hebrew alphabets.
