Summary

This essay analices the role played by patron-saint festivities in Basque villages and hamlets. Such celebrations may be understood a performance-type ritual, in which the neighbourhood´s time and space are renewed. The author analyses, from a semiotic perspective, the various symbolic elements that turn the members of rural neighbourhoods into dependent and permanent communities one belongs to.
