A man from Manacor takes an exam dressed as Sant Antoni to protest that the festival has been missed for two years.

"What's certain is that they won't schedule any exams on Saint Sebastian's Day..." Joan Llull Febrer is a young man from Manacor studying Agricultural Engineering at the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB). As a sign of protest (and also to celebrate), he dressed up as Saint Anthony this morning to take a third-year exam. It's not the first year that Juan has had an exam scheduled for January 16th, thus missing a good part of his town's festivities.

Last year he did the same thing, appearing in the exam room dressed as the patron saint of animals, cape included. "...you study engineering and you have a Calculus exam on Saint Anthony's Day," he posted on social media on Saint Anthony's Day Saturday in 2025. ~BK_S_
