Abstract


The feast of Cantaderas that the people and the Church of León celebrated in the Cathedral in August 15th (Virgin's Assumption), was a ritual in wich a series of events of both a cyclical (annual-vital) and historical legendary character were superposed and exalted. We start describing the feast through historical and literary sources, during a period that goes from the sixteenth to the seventeenth centuries. Then we consider the feast as a passage rite and especially as a liminal stage consideration that provides as with a better understanding of the relationship between all the ritual elements.
