A formal institutional ceremony with all local authorities is the so called civilian procession held to honour the old royal flag Senyera Coronada towards the Cathedral from the Town City Hall, where it descends through the balcony and not through the main door as a proud sign of not bowing in front of anyone but God.

This parade takes place since 1338 when Peter IV of Aragon intended to celebrate the centenary of the Kingdom of Valencia and to demand protection to Saint Denis in the middle of a famine caused by poor rains.

[5] Sant Donis, as it is called in the local language, is also the Lovers' Day on October 9th in the Valencian Community similar to St.Valentine's, and it is customary to give marzipans shaped as fruits and horticultural products as a present to a beloved person.

These sweet gifts are known as La Mocadorà, being mocador the Valencian word for a silk handkerchief, where the marzipan vegetables and fruits are gift-wrapped.

All bakeries along the city and the old kingdom of Valencia hold nowadays beautiful handycrafted and sweet shop window and product contests with this theme Mocadorà and its orchard marzipans.
