Festivities of St. Peter

In Afurada there is the usual religious fervor among fishing communities. Here, devotion is naturally associated with the art of fishing and the dangers it entails; therefore, the saints of greatest devotion are related to the sea. St. Peter, protector of fishermen, is the patron saint of Afurada and the most invoked saint.
This devotion is present not only in the Feasts in honor of St. Peter, but also in the day-to-day life of the community. Everywhere one can see images of the saints, from the small square of St. Peter to the balconies, doors, and windows of the houses, in small oratories of the streets or in private altars.
