Mallorca celebrates the Feast of the Assumption this Saturday, 15th August, with 81 Beds of the Virgin on display in churches across the island.

\"Bed<\/p>\n

The Feast of the Assumption in Mallorca 2026<\/strong> will once again fill churches and places of worship with the traditional Beds of the Virgin Mary. The Consell de Mallorca and the Bishopric of Mallorca have confirmed that 81 monuments will be open to visitors across the island<\/strong> this year.<\/p>\n

The main day of the celebration is Saturday, 15th August<\/strong>, although some activities begin on Friday 14th and others will continue over the following days.<\/p>\n

Of the total number of Beds of the Virgin prepared this year, 24 are in Palma and 57 in different municipalities of the Part Forana<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

81 Beds of the Virgin in Mallorca<\/h2>\n

The 2026 figure matches last year’s total and confirms the recovery and consolidation of this tradition following the pandemic.<\/p>\n

In Palma there will be 24 Beds of the Virgin<\/strong>, compared with 17 installations in 2022 and 20 in both 2023 and 2024. The figure rose to 24 in 2025 and remains unchanged this year.<\/p>\n

In the Part Forana, 57 Beds of the Virgin can be visited<\/strong>. In recent years there were 50 in 2022, 56 in 2023, 58 in 2024 and 57 in 2025.<\/p>\n

What’s new for the Beds of the Virgin in 2026?<\/h2>\n

The main changes this year are outside Palma.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights is the return of the monument in Santa Eug\u00e8nia<\/strong>, which once again forms part of the celebration.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Bed of the Virgin at the convent of Sant Vicen\u00e7 Ferrer in Manacor is no longer included in the 2026 exhibition route.<\/p>\n

In Palma, the installations introduced in recent editions have become established at the churches of Monti-sion, Santa Teresa de Jes\u00fas, Nuestra Se\u00f1ora del Rosario in Son Cladera and Santa Teresa del Ni\u00f1o Jes\u00fas in Son Armadans<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
