The Federació Colles de Ball i Cultura Popular d'Eivissa i Formentera,
with the support from the Insular Council, has programmed several "Caramelles
de Nadal" that will be held at different churches in Eivissa and Formentera
these Christmas days. The "Caramelles de Nadal" are ancient chants that
announce the birth of Jesus Christ, interpreted by "esquadres de caramellers",
originally during the Christmas Eve service called "matines".
Most of the "caramelles" programmed will take place on the night of
the 24th, as it was done traditionally, but there will also be performances
on December 26 and 30, and on January 1, 6 and 20.
