Zaragoza献花仪式：994个团体、近十万民众向皮拉尔圣母献花
Zaragoza 向皮拉尔圣母献花仪式10月12日把皮拉尔广场变成了花的海洋。这是皮拉尔节的核心活动，也是西班牙规模最大的群众参与活动之一。献花从清晨6时30分开始、持续一整天：994个登记团体、共99980人穿着地方服饰列队向圣母献花，另外还有数以千计的个人献花者以及来自西班牙其他地区和国外的团体。
今年的特邀国家是委内瑞拉，它的花旗图案在圣母的花毯上格外显眼；圣母花毯的上层今年用红色康乃馨织成。第一个献花的是 Almochuel 市政府，这个阿拉贡小镇在献花仪式上有悠久传统。
献花仪式每年10月12日西班牙国庆日举行，规模与瓦伦西亚法雅节的献花仪式相当，是西班牙参与人数最多的民间活动之一。

Zaragoza's Offering of Flowers: 994 Groups and Nearly 100,000 People Honour the Virgen del Pilar
Zaragoza's Offering of Flowers to the Virgen del Pilar filled the Plaza del Pilar on October 12, the centrepiece of the Fiestas del Pilar and one of Spain's most massive popular acts. The offering began at 6:30 in the morning and ran all day: 994 registered groups with a total of 99,980 participants marched in regional dress to lay flowers before the Virgin, joined by thousands of individual offerers and by groups from other Spanish regions and abroad.
This year's guest country is Venezuela, whose floral flag featured prominently as the Virgin's mantle of flowers took shape; the upper mantle was made this year of red carnations. The first group to offer was the Ayuntamiento de Almochuel, a small Aragonese town with a long tradition in the act.
The Offering is held every October 12, Spain's National Day, and is among the largest participatory events in the country, comparable in scale to Valencia's Fallas offering.
The Fiestas del Pilar continue in Zaragoza until October 18, with the offering as their emotional peak. (Source: Zaragoza City Council)
