The entry of the image of the Virgen de los Desamparados into Valencia Cathedral was marked by a crowd of people trying to get closer to it. This event, which is now considered a classic, led to shouting, pushing, and even minor altercations among those present.

The situation unfolded just before the Pontifical Mass, as the image was being placed on the main altar. Despite the tension, the image was eventually positioned, and the crowd was cleared to allow the service to proceed.

The religious leader was able to officiate the mass from just before noon, once calm had been restored in the temple. These incidents are recurrent whenever the image is moved for significant events.
