Feast in Honor of the Virgin of the Head in Rute.

Devotion to the Morenita is renewed every year on the second Sunday of May.

This Marian devotion, centuries-old in Rute, parades through the streets of its neighborhood in a pilgrimage in the morning, where the street of los Cortijuelos becomes the designated place to celebrate it 'with cheers and songs', as the lyrics of a small and old song say, and in the evening, it processes in a more solemn procession through the main neighborhoods of the town.

The Brotherhood, during these dates, organizes an extensive program of activities in which liturgical and cultural events are once again simultaneous. The beginning of the festivities coincides with the Pilgrims' Mass and the traditional Pilgrimage of the Brothers from Andújar to the Sanctuary of Ntra. Sra. De la Cabeza in Andújar, where there is a brotherhood house, with the subsequent return to Rute, full of color and dedication.

Among other events is the traditional novena to the Virgin, the commemoration of her canonical coronation, and the subsequent Proclamation of the Festivities and the Coronation of the Queen and Maids of Honor of the Festivities.

On the eve of the Pilgrimage, a traditional flower offering is made, which will go through some streets of Rute and has the traditional participation of several pilgrim choirs from various localities alongside the people of Rute.

These festivities coincide with the Fair, which takes place during the second weekend of May and extends until Tuesday.

These festivities in honor of the Most Holy Mary of the Head, declared of tourist interest, continue throughout the month of May, during which all the children born that year in the town are passed under the mantle of the Virgin, ending with a traditional "kiss of the hand" commemorating the feast of the Virgin's Royalty.
