SPAIN. Navarre. 2005. Pamplona. Just before the start of the event, the runners who have chosen to make their run at the first stretch on the slope of Santo Domingo, chant a homily to the image of San Fermín, patron of the fiestas, a figure located in a niche on the wall. The words go “A San Fermín pedimos, por ser nuestro patrón, nos guíe en el encierro dándonos su bendición.” (‘We beseech San Fermin to guide us in this run and to give us his blessing’). The piece is also sung in Basque. At exactly 8.00 a.m. a rocket is set off to announce the opening of the bullpens and the start of the bullrun.
