More information on Procesión del Corpus Christi
The Corpus Christi Procession dates back to 1355 in Valencia. The exclusively religious procession would eventually make room for a more festive parade, with the Capellà de les Roques (literally, the Chaplain of Parade Floats) inviting the entire town to take part in the festivities. The parade is always led by Gigantes ("Giants", figurines normally representing famous kings, queens, typical professions, etc.), and Cabezudos ("Big Heads", large masks that almost cover up the entire body) and an array of characters and personages from both the Old and New Testaments. The stars are the Casa de las Rocas, however. These floats, some of which were built in the 16th century, are the mobile stages for the performance of Misteris, professions of faith as they're known in Valencia.
