” “The feast of Saint James the Apostle, the patron saint of the Spanish nation, will be celebrated, as usual, in the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela on July 25th. During the liturgy, the traditional "ofrenda" (plea) to the Apostle in the name of the king, Juan Carlos, will be submitted by the royal delegate who this year is the mayor of the city, Xosé Sánchez Bugallo. The liturgy, which will be co-celebrated by the bishops of the ecclesiastic province, will be presided over by the archbishop of Santiago de Compostela, Julián Barrio Barrio. A procession through the main streets of the city with a relic of the Saint will be held during the commemoration.” “
