In Segovia, Spain, the Saint John the Baptist Day is really an entire week of processions and celebrations. This holy day is celebrated in many parts of Spain. I have seen photos and videos of this type of procession in the past, but this was the first one I had seen live and up close. If it looks a little dark, it is about 8:00 in the evening. The main Cathedral of Segovia is in the background. We did not necessarily plan to be in Segovia during the week of the celebration, but it was extremely fortunate that we were. In the front and center of the procession is the processional altar. We saw several of these in churches in other parts of the country.
