Holy Week
The origin of the failures come from
On the eve of San José bonfires were lit to announce their festival, receiving that ritual practice the fault name.
The popular version of the origin of the faults as the Marquis of Cruïlles, were initiated by the guild of carpenters who burned on the eve of the day of its patron San Jose in a purifying fire, chips and leftover junk, making cleaning workshops before entering the spring. In addition, burning their "parots" (structures hanging fixtures that gave them light) since the end of winter and the arrival of spring, and made the longest days were no longer needed. According to this theory, popular inventiveness gave these parots human form. This romantic legend of the origin of the festival contrasts with the documentation in the Guild of Carpenters, which cites the construction of flaws in its eve, but the religious festival of the same day 19.
