Without a doubt, the "Septenary" is a representation of the religious tradition tipically from Cuenca city in Ecuador. It shows shades that reflect duality in its conception, on the one hand the sacred and on the other the profane, conjugating both of them the acceptance of the dogma and the uproar of the people in their enchantment by the Bustle of "cuetes" (explosive rockets) and pyrotechnic "castles" with folk bands and for the taste of the traditional sweetmeats of the Corpus Christi celebration. This feast dates back to ancient Roman Catholicism representing a igneous celebration related to the European summer solstice. The manifestation of this cultural expression inherited by the Spaniards is called in Cuenca city "El Septenario" because it lasts for at least 7 days, represented by Priests of the city, who fund the pyrotechnics and the ecclesiastical costumes of each day. Quilico brings us a sample of this tradition that in my opinion, is losing its essence with the replacement of digital music and electronic games coupled with imported pyrotechnics and the absence of the missed fire balloons that illuminated June nights in Cuenca.
