The festivities of Moros i Cristians Xàbia 2023 already have standard bearers

February 17 from 2023 - 10: 02

The Filà Al-Tarik's of the Moorish side and the Filà Contrabandistes de Xàbia by the Christian side are in charge, this 2023, of presenting the highest representatives of the Moors and Christians Festival of Xàbia.

Indira Rosa Cardona Delange and Natalia Moya Llidó will be the ones who will hold the position of Flag Bearers. The two have been part of the great festive family since they were born and have great references who have not only conveyed their esteem for the party, but also the importance of the position they will hold from their Proclamation at the Mig Any Fester which will take place on Saturday March 4th.

Indira belongs to the Filà Al-Tariks and will lead the side of the crescent and Natalia, of the Filà Contrabandistes de Xàbia, will preside over the side of the cross.

Indira will come of age this year and is training in Business, Economics, Photography and Graphic Design. For her part, Natalia is 20 years old and has just finished her Administration internship and has her sights set on studying Social Integration. The two young women carry the party in their blood. Since they were born they have been closely linked to it and have great references in their families who are, to this day, traditional partygoers and alma mater of their respective Filaes.

And now, after a lifetime admiring the figure of the Flag Bearers, their time has finally come. Natalia says that she feels “especially proud”. "I was born a Smuggler and that they decide to appoint you to hold such an important and symbolic position for all of us who make up the party is very exciting." “They had always told me 'when you grow up you will be a Standard Bearer' and that moment has arrived. Really, she really wanted to, ”she narrates.

Indira corroborates the words of her partner in this journey and goes a little further. "I started parading when I was one year old with my father and, for me, being a Flag Bearer this year will have the same symbolism as when, here in Xàbia, you are fifth or fifth of the Fogueres: It means the passage of childhood to maturity. Before I go to live abroad, I will celebrate it in style with what I feel really makes me know that they are the Moors and Christians”.

Both Natalia and Indira look forward to each of the acts that they will share "from the smallest to the most spectacular and massive". However, if they have to choose, they do not hesitate to express their enthusiasm for experiencing some of the July festival program from the position of Flag Bearers.

The representative of the Christian side is clear: “The Christian Reconquest and the Gala Parades. They are acts in which the Standard Bearer shows herself with all the leadership that she really has and characterizes her ”. On the other hand, the Moorish representative opts for the camaraderie that exists between Filaes: “I think that the public does not see the most beautiful thing about the party, which is what happens before and after each act. I want to live that brotherhood of partygoers and partygoers more intensely and being a Flag Bearer I will have to do it yes or yes ”, she emphasizes.

The two new Flag Bearers admit that it is an honor to be able to represent the party "and join that spectacular group of women that we were able to get to know better last year when the twenty-fifth anniversary of the institution of the position of Flag Bearers was commemorated and verify, not only that all they were great representatives and have been setting the bar very high, but they have become admirable women”.

With the echo of the tribute that the party paid to its top officials in the 2022 edition, they are even more aware of the importance of the role they are about to play. "Xàbia was a pioneer in giving women prominence and their own identity at the party". "Unlike what happens in other towns, the Xabieras Flag-bearers have autonomy on their own and represent the whole of the entire party regardless of the filà that holds the Captaincy", they explain.

"That is why it is a pride to be able to carry out the position of a warrior woman with so much power." “They are the ones who, at the moment of being proclaimed at Mig Any, have to dignify the party by showing, with their dedication and commitment, the effort that each festero and festera make to be able to take the party forward and be the image of the creativity and beauty that characterizes the Moors and Christians at all times”.

Both Indira and Natalia have the date of next Saturday, March 4, well marked on the calendar. Among the acts that will be held within the framework of the Mig Any Fester, the most important and formal bears her name. From that moment on, they will begin to represent the party wherever it is present and to hold a position expected by both of them and by their families.
