The practice of making offerings parsley (Petroselinum crispum) to St Pancras (San Pancracio), has already been recorded on this website; see posts of 12 February 2017 (Barcelona) and 20 August 2021 (Cordoba).

The images here show sprigs of parsley placed at the base of a statue of St Pancras in the church of St John the Baptist, Malaga, Andalusia, Spain.

Is this practice restricted to Spain, or is it known elsewhere?  Any comments would be much appreciated; please send them to roy@plant-lore.com

Photographs taken 21 April 2025.

Note: When the church was visited on Sunday 15 February 2026 there was no sign of any parsley.
