There he stood out for healing the sick, especially those who suffered from throat problems. Hence the custom of blessing the throats, and the threads of San Blas in C\u00f3mpeta, on the day of their feast on February 3.<\/p>\n<h2>How is the blessing of the San Blas threads in C\u00f3mpeta 2019<\/h2>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>February 3 is the day of San Blas and in C\u00f3mpeta we celebrate eating some traditional threads dedicated to this saint. A party that takes place days after the C\u00f3mpeta neighborhood fair that takes place on January 20 in honor of the patron saint of San Sebastian.<\/p>\n<p>In C\u00f3mpeta and in other towns of the Axarqu\u00eda and Andalusia, it is customary that during this feast of the saint, some bread threads are brought to the mass in his honor so that they may be blessed. This act is done by placing a few loops of colors, which also carries San Blas, between the threads and after the blessing, these tapes are hung around the neck to <strong>protect the throat and the threads<\/strong> are eaten. And it is that, according to tradition, these threads of San Blas prevent throat ailments and respiratory diseases but to verify it you will have to visit us during this journey and try them.<\/p>\n<p>The San Blas threads are also blessed early in the morning in schools for children to eat then accompanied by olive oil.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Receta de roscas de San Bla<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h4>Ingredients<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>1 kg of flour<\/li>\n<li>375 gr of sugar<\/li>\n<li>175 gr of lard<\/li>\n<li>1 and a half yeast<\/li>\n<li>6 eggs<\/li>\n<li>Essence of anise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First melt the lard while mixing in a bowl the sugar and yeast. Next, add melted butter and a tablespoon of aniseed essence to the mixture. Then we will add the eggs one by one and moving the mixture little by little. Finally, add the flour slowly and we will knead the result with your hands to make it more consistent. With the finished dough, we will take pieces to make a braid in the shape of a circle. Now we just have to introduce the threads in the oven preheated to 180 degrees and wait for 10 or 15 minutes until we see that they get hard and begin to brown.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/en\/bendicion-las-roscas-san-blas-competa-2019\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1337\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-800 wp-image-1337\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.hotel-competa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/roscas-de-san-blas-competa-2019-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year the festivity of the <strong>San Blas threads in C\u00f3mpeta 2019<\/strong> takes place on Sunday, February 3.
