S’Àvia Corema

According to a tradition spread in Catalan-speaking regions, in Menorca, after Carnival a new figure arrives: S'Àvia Corema, an old lady with seven legs representing the seven weeks of Lent. In the houses, schools and public offices, posters representing the old lady appear, and every weekend, till Easter, people (especially kids) take off one foot from the "granny" picture.
The old lady carries an oil cruet and a cod in a hand, and in the other a rosary.
Besides counting the weeks of Lent, the tradition of S'Àvia Corema, celebrates the transition from winter to spring.
Each Saturday a big and light S'Àvia Corema sculpture (Gegant), made of cartboard, paper mache and fabric, moved by a man hidden inside it, parades in the streets and stops in a different square of Mahon. Every Saturday a child is choosen from the crowd to take off a foot from the sculpture. There is music, people sing traditional songs and candies are thrown to the children. At the end of the celebration the sculpture is put under the arcades of the Town Hall waiting for the next Saturday.
