Valencia's Corpus Christi celebration is in its final preparations, with the procession's wardrobe ready to host nearly 300 participants. These garments, reviewed and preserved throughout the year, will feature biblical figures, prophets, Romans, and the Magi parading through the city streets this Sunday.

The preparation of the attire begins months in advance. According to the wardrobe manager, Enrique González, after each edition, the costumes are sent to the dry cleaners, then reviewed and repaired before being selected for the parade.

Among the most notable pieces are the costumes for the knights, some of which date back to the 1950s and 1960s. Last year, new costumes were created for Death, the figure of God, and two tunics for the Ark of the Covenant, expanding the wardrobe collection.

The collection includes pieces from various workshops and entities, as well as costumes for the Magi, prophets, and other biblical characters. This year, elements such as the allegories of the Whites and the High Priest's breastplate have also been renewed. Participants will wear numerous symbolic accessories and attributes.

Costumes for the so-called 'angelets' (little angels), children participating in the procession, have also been prepared. González highlighted the uniqueness of some fabrics used, such as traditional damasks, which he considers increasingly difficult to find.

Ciriolots, prophets, Romans, kings, and figures from the Old and New Testaments will once again parade through the streets of Valencia in a celebration that has remained vibrant since the Middle Ages and this year commemorates its 700th anniversary.
