More information on Sant Dionis

October 9th is an important day in the Valencian calendar. This is when romantic young men wrap up specially decorated and shaped marzipan sweets - Piuletes and Tronadors in silk handkerchiefs - Mocaors and give them to their girlfriends as a demonstration of their affection. The Church has designated the 9th as Saint Dionysius' Feast Day, and he has become the local version of Saint Valentine. It's also Valencia region's official holiday to celebrate the triumphant entrance of Jaime I into the city after defeating the Moors in battle hundreds of years ago.
