Santa Praxedis, patrona del regne de Mallorca: (segles XIV-XVI)

Les relíquies de santa Praxedis, segons la tradició, arribaren a Mallorca mitjançant el rei Jaume III. De seguida gaudiren de molta devoció i comptaren amb la protecció reial. A la baixa edat mitjana, la intervenció de la santa era implorada davant les epidèmies de pesta i també per manca de pluja i les seves restes eren tretes en processó. La seva festa, el 21 de juliol, se celebrava amb gran solemnitat atès que santa Praxedis era considerada patrona del regne. Encara avui, dites relíquies es conserven a la capella de santa Anna al castell reial de l’Almudaina. According to the tradition, the relics of Saint Praxedis arrived at Majorca via King James III. They immediately enjoyed great devotion and were provided with royal protection. In the Late Middle Ages, the intervention of the saint was implored in the event of plague epidemics and lack of rainfall, in which cases her remains were carried in procession. Her fest day is the 21st of July and it was celebrated with great solemnity, as Saint Praxedis was considered the patron saint of the kingdom. Even today, her relics are preserved in the chapel of Saint Anna, in the royal castle of l’Almudaina-
