On 27 of September 1752 the second relic of Turibius Alfonso de Mogrovejo y Robledo was received in Mayorga, his home village. He died in Zaña (Peru) in 1606 and was canonised in 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII in his bull Quoniam Spiritus for his work of evangelisation as Archbishop of Lima.

As night fell during the procession's advance, residents went out with brands and torches to light the way.
