Archdiocese of Oviedo places flags
In brief
The Archdiocese of Oviedo has placed flags in the Cathedral to announce the Perdonanza.
The tradition stems from a 1438 bull issued by Pope Eugene IV. This decree granted a plenary indulgence to anyone visiting the Oviedo Cathedral on the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, or during the eight days before or after the feast, provided the celebration falls on a Friday.
