In the heart of Mallorca, the Balearic island that exudes charm and cultural diversity, lies an ancient tradition that has endured through the centuries: The Song of the Sibyl. This chant, performed on Christmas Eve, carries with it the essence of the spirituality and rich cultural heritage of the region.

The Song of the Sibyl: A Link to the Past

Originating in the 13th century, the Chant of the Sibyl is a liturgical tradition that has been preserved in Mallorca from generation to generation. This performance, which takes place in Palma's imposing Santa Maria Cathedral, transports those present to a profound connection with the past, recalling the expectation of Christ's advent.

The Sibyl, dressed in solemn robes, intones Latin verses prophesying the coming of the Savior. The solemn and mystical atmosphere pervades the cathedral as the audience is transported to a moment that transcends the barriers of time.
