Military Easter dates back to 1782, when the Spanish Military won a big battle in Mallorca on January 6, the Feast Day of the Epiphany. Since then, the day has been set aside to honor the military forces of Spain. Military parades and a ceremony are held every year at the palace. The King traditionally gives an address, flanked by members of his family.

    Letizia is very striking in her dress! Beautiful! She’s so tiny, though. She needs to eat a few paellas! :)
